Rice RB Tyvonn Byars brings efficient early-down production and a sturdy 5'10", 214-pound frame
In the 2025 season, Tyvonn Byars showed efficient rookie-year production for Rice, rushing for 193 yards on 34 carries and a 5.68-yard average while adding 53 receiving yards and a touchdown in eight games. He looks like a compact, physical back with enough burst to create chunk plays and enough pass-game utility to stay on the field. His current profile suggests a useful fit for a team that wants a dependable, versatile runner rather than a pure volume bell cow, with some upside if his workload expands.
