"I have a good relationship with him [Stewart] we talk from time to time and he’s a real cool dude. Also coach Brown," Byard told Mountaineers Now back in February. "I don’t really know too much about him as a coach and hopefully that can change when I get up there in the spring for a practice. But coach Brown is a a good dude and a family first person which is big for me."

Byard will return to campus sometime this fall for a game with a date to be determined.
