In 2024 with the Cornhuskers, Gbayor recorded 49 tackles six tackles-for-loss, and one sack across 11 starts in 12 games.

For his career, the 6-foot-2, 230 pound linebacker appeared in 25 games in Lincoln, tallying 73 tackles, nine tackles-for-loss, and 1.5 sacks.

Out of Irvington, NJ, Gbayor was a 3-star recruit in the class of 2021, and rated as the11th-best prospect in the state.
