Harvard freshman Leo Byrne brings size, international pedigree, and upside—when healthy
Byrne is a 6'8" Harvard forward whose value is more about long-term fit than box-score volume right now: in 2024-25 he played 10 games, averaged 3.1 minutes and 0.2 points, and missed the latter part of the season because of injury. He stands out for his size, frontcourt versatility, and proven scoring touch at the youth international level—he averaged 15.6 points and 4.1 rebounds for Ireland at the 2023 FIBA U18 European Championship Division B. The fit is best for a patient program that can develop a skilled, mobile forward.
