Ja’Den Bryd was one of the biggest risers in the top 100. He’s a player to watch throughout 2025. He’s another stout, two-gap plug, showcasing a solid burst off the LOS. Byrd displays good foot quickness and upper body strength, allowing him to overpower and extend against offensive linemen while applying pressure to the quarterback from the interior. He also plays with a high motor.

Note – 3.6 GPA

520‼️ I was 15LBS away from the school record as a freshman and the record was set by a Senior. It’s only up from here @Dale_Gilleran2 @GilleranThomas @coltonedwardsFB @HootensARFBall @bench424nmore @thejjjohnson2 @bohannancannon2 @UCA_Football @Coach_TDavis @PrepRedzoneAR pic.twitter.com/hxXPO0FQje
