the Golden Eagles’ polished, production-heavy slot weapon
In the 2016 season, Dontez Byrd exploded for a school-record 933 receiving yards on 74 catches with 7 touchdowns at Tennessee Tech, then followed that with 1,936 yards and 13 scores across two seasons, showing true chain-moving reliability and big-play juice. The key separator is how polished he was as an all-around receiver: quick routes, dependable hands, and enough burst to punish single coverage. He’s the kind of fit you want if you need a savvy, competitive WR who can win from the slot, create after the catch, and keep drives alive.
