The Owls added four backcourt players a few weeks after they lost Adonis Filer (senior), Frank Booker (senior) and Nick Rutherford (transferred to Monmouth University). FAU added guards Tyler Byrd, Payton Hulsey, Je’Quan Perry, Anthony Adger and Byron Abrams.

Byrd, a native Chattanooga, Tennessee, played at Gulf Coast Community College in Panama City, Florida last year, but started just four of the 29 games he played in.
