Bryce Heard brings efficient spot-up shooting and steady backcourt scoring to Dayton
Heard is a useful rotation guard for Dayton because he already showed he can score efficiently in 2025-26, averaging 6.6 points, 2.4 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 18.4 minutes while hitting 36.6% from three and 79.1% at the line.[1][3][5] His best selling points are his spacing and flashes of bigger-shot ability — he made 26 threes, logged six starts, and had a season-high 16 points against ranked BYU.[5][16] He also has a strong academic profile and came through elite high-school and transfer-track pedigree, which suggests a disciplined, coachable fit rather than a high-usage star.[12][15]
