Jamie Byrd brings veteran heat to USF’s secondary
Jamie Byrd is a physical, versatile South Florida defensive back whose calling card has long been tackling and ball-hawking instincts; in his 2014 season, he posted 95 tackles and 2 interceptions, and he was praised by USF coaches for maturity, toughness, and a willingness to hit. He stood out as a nickel/safety type who can handle multiple roles, which makes him valuable if your defense wants reliability, contact, and versatility more than flash.
