Coach's Comments: "Byrd just has tremendous athletic ability," said North Augusta Head Coach Joe Long. "He plays on both sides of the ball, never comes off the field and never complains. He’s a big team guy. He can run and catch. C.J. can go get the deep ball and is certainly not afraid to run an inside pattern. He can also take a hit. Defensively he gets to the ball quickly and he delivers that big blow."
Scouting Report: Byrd is certainly good enough to play on either side of the ball at the next level as a wide receiver or safety. He shows very deceptive speed, solid hands, he can beat you deep and he’s not afraid to go over the middle. Byrd is also a very good blocker down field. Defenisvely, he plays the safety position like a centerfielder but he has a linebacker mentality. Byrd has superior closing speed and he hits like a truck. He can also defend the pass.
