How many grams of fat per pound of bodyweight would you recommend during cutting if a guy drops his carbs down to 50 or lower per day?

I wouldn’t calculate grams of fat. I’d start with 1.5g protein per lb bw (personal preference, doesn’t NEED to be that high but I find it easier - as low as 1g per lb would also work).

You’ve already got your carb number so whatever is left would be fat.....

This exactly calculate maintenance cals then go 500 below maintenance then add in cals of protein intake at 1.5g/lb of bw then whatever you have left divide it by 9cals which is 1g of fat (pretty sure don’t quote me) that’ll give you your fat intake.
