Our highest remaining uncommitted is Highland Springs running back Eric Byrd Eric Byrd 5'8" | 185 lbs | RB Highland Springs | 2026 State VA . Ranked 24th overall his offers range the Power 4 to Division 3 level. Ed O”Brien wrote a nice breakdown of Byrd’s game a couple weeks ago:

I watched some mid-season highlights, and I’m impressed with how fast he both hits and gets through the hole, putting immediate pressure on the second level. Byrd consistently beats defenders to the corner. However, that doesn’t mean he can’t get it done between the tackles, too. Byrd is already low to the ground, so he runs with a low pad level and has a strong lower body, which enables him to run through tackles.
