Who is wearing #81 in 2015?

Jacob Byron

Hometown: Marion, New York

Year: Junior

Position: Tight End

High School: Marion

A 2008 graduate of Marion High, Byron first joined the US Marine Corp.

Freshman (2013): Byron played linebacker for the Buff State Bengals

Redshirt Freshman (2014) Byron walked-on to UB and redshirted.

Outlook: The largest TE on roster, Byron could find a niche as a blocking tight end in heavy run situations. In addition his experience with playing linebacker should make him a valuable cover man on special teams.
