Kyon Barrs
Wins the gap play after play. Played for three head coaches across five seasons and two programs. The first one came in 2021: All-Pac-12. A game that shows it: 5 tackles against Louisville — Bowl, 2023.
Play style
Stout at the point of attack — steady tackle-for-loss production without a standout pass-rush number.

What the box score actually says
18 tackles. 0 passes defended. 0 interceptions. 0 TFL.
Counts only, never a rate — splash-event sample sizes this small (interceptions, pass breakups, TFL) are noise as a rate and signal only as a tally.
