The southpaw is a workhorse on the glass. He kept Colquitt County in the game in the first half against Benedictine with his ability to score on putbacks and finish through contact. Byrd posted 12 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in a 39-38 win. Jakari lived at the foul line, shooting 4-10.

Strongly built. Can overpower opponents on the block. Lefty battles on the glass but is more than just a banger. Adept at pushing the ball in transition. Offensive range is expanding.
