Reliable Floor General with Elite Free-Throw Stroke
The IU Indianapolis guard is a steady, efficient contributor who excels in high-pressure situations. In her most recent season, Byrd shot an impressive .826 from the free-throw line (19-for-23, team-best) while averaging 4.5 points and 1.8 rebounds across 20.5 minutes per game. A career 1,000-point scorer from high school, she's a floor general who dished out 66 assists and demonstrated clutch performance—tying a career-high 16 points in the WNIT tournament. Her .393 field-goal percentage and .351 three-point clip suggest room for offensive growth, but her basketball IQ, free-throw reliability, and academic credentials (3.0+ GPA) make her a dependable role player for teams seeking a composed, intelligent backup guard.
