Tulsa CB commit Julian Byrd brings size, speed, and playmaking upside
Julian Byrd is a 6-1, 190-pound cornerback with real upside: Tulsa lists him as a three-star prospect, the No. 156 CB nationally by 247Sports, and notes he had two interceptions and a fumble recovery in 12 games in 2025. He also brings verified athletic juice with a 10.92 100-meter time, which hints at recovery speed and press-man potential. Byrd chose Tulsa over a long offer list that included Power Four interest, suggesting he’s a legitimate developmental fit with starter traits rather than just a depth add.
