Savion Byrd brings pro-level size, versatility, and a nasty edge to SMU’s offensive line
A former four-star recruit, Savion Byrd entered SMU as a transfer from Oklahoma and quickly showed he can handle real ACC-level work, starting 12 of 14 games in the 2024 season primarily at left tackle while helping SMU rank second in the ACC in scoring at 38.5 points per game and surrender one of the conference’s lowest sack totals[1]. His calling card is versatility—he’s played both tackle and guard—and the best opinions on him point to a strong attitude, high energy, and seamless fit in the room[1][14]. If your team wants a sturdy, experienced lineman who can move pieces and keep the pocket clean, Byrd is very much your guy[1][10].
