The true freshman could climb up the depth chart as the Hawkeyes search for a gamebreaking running back.
Shadrick Byrd – Freshman
Alabaster, AL (Thompson)
5’10”, 212 lbs
2019 Projection: Reserve running back
Shadrick Byrd is one of two true freshman running backs on the scholarship, though Byrd arrived in Iowa City this past winter after graduating from high school early. It was a decision he turned around super quickly, as he didn’t commit until mid-December. He committed to Iowa over a number of ACC offers.
