Hailing from Fresno, California, Hatari Byrd joined the Oklahoma Sooners as the No. 13 safety in the country accoring to Scout. Through the first several days of camp as a true freshman, the defensive back found himself in a position carousel. Working out at corner, nickelback, and dimeback. A talented player, Byrd played in three games that season.
Unfortunately, the only real highlights available are from his high school days.
Now moving forward as a junior, Byrd finds himself as a projected starter at his natural position..safety. The 6-1 206-pound free safety knows a talented true freshman current sits on the two-deep and will challenge for playing time. However, could Byrd become a defensive staple this season reaching his full potential?
