Gary Byers brings size and production to Miles’ linebacker room
In the 2025 season, Gary Byers logged 11 total tackles, including 2 tackles for loss, in limited game action for Miles, and he returned in 2026 as a 6-foot, 210-pound sophomore linebacker. That profile points to a downhill, physical defender who can flash disruption when he’s around the ball; the real appeal is the frame and the upside, not just the box score. He looks like a fit for a team that wants a tough, developing LB with special-teams value and room to grow into a bigger role.
