34. Shadrick Byrd [from Alabaster]: RB/KR — Charlotte
After starting his career at Iowa, Charlotte’s Shadrick Byrd was one of the most versatile all-purpose players in Conference USA during his debut season. The Alabama native had over 50 rushing yards in seven contests and at least 30 yards receiving in four. Byrd also served as the Niners primary kick-return man, en route to finishing fourth overall in all-purpose yards with 1,455.
30. Starling Thomas V: DB — UAB
UAB has been a program spearheaded by excellent defensive play over the past four seasons and a major part of that success last year was the play of cornerback Starling Thomas V. After missing all of 2020 to injury, Thomas regained his starting role in 2021 and racked up 41 tackles and two interceptions while adding eight passes defended.
23. Sidney Wells: G — UAB
UAB has consistently produced excellent offensive line play over their recent stretch of success. A major part of that has been the play of tackle Sidney Wells. In 27 starts over the past three years, Wells has been named to the C-USA All-Conference First Team once and was on the Outland Trophy watch list last year before suffering a season-ending injury after the Blazers fourth contest. The 6-4, 330-pounder has been rated as the team’s top offensive lineman by Pro Football Focus over the last two years.
21. Grayson Cash: S — UAB
UAB’s Grayson Cash might not always fill-up the stat sheet — but his impact is never missed in the game’s largest moments. The redshirt senior has a knack for big plays, recording pick-six against Florida Atlantic last season and two game-sealing interceptions in 2020. Cash was named second-team all-conference at safety last season and is arguably the league’s top safety entering 2022.
