Byron Cowart brings veteran interior grit and NFL-tested power to Maryland's defensive front
Byron Cowart’s Maryland résumé is defined by disruptive interior play and steadiness: in the 2018 season, he posted 38 tackles, 5.0 tackles for loss, 3.0 sacks, and a forced fumble for the Terps[2][4]. He later carried that punch into the NFL, where his 2024 season with Chicago included 26 tackles and 2.5 sacks in 15 games[5][8]. What makes him valuable is the combo of size, experience, and a reputation for strong preseason showings and depth value—less flashy than a star, but exactly the kind of dependable, physical DL piece coaches love[8][9].
