In his short career at Tennessee Tech, there’s no question that Dontez Byrd has made quite an impact. In each of his two seasons as a Golden Eagle, he has broken the program’s single-season receiving yardage record. He enters Saturday’s game needing two catches to break his own record set in 2016 and just 24 yards to become the first Tech receiver to haul in 1,000 yards for a single season. In just two seasons, Byrd has risen all the way up to sixth on the Tech career receiving yardage list with 1,909 yards and a game to play. While he may not be able to reach the career heights set by Tim Benford (3,097, 774.25 per season), Larry Shipp (2,950, 737.5 per season), Craig Rolle (2,813, 703.25 per season), Byrd still has put some impressive numbers on the charts. Byrd has averaged 954.5 yards in his two seasons, and, in a theoretical four-year career with the Golden Eagles, could have reached nearly 3,818 yards.
