Boyd is a very fun to player to watch. He uses his long wing span to keep offensive lineman off of him and he quickly discards them as he diagnoses the play. Josh's athletic ability is perhaps his greatest attribute. He has surprising flexibility and endurance for a man his size.


Biography:
2008Named 1st team All-State by the Clarion Ledger.

Selected to play in the Mississippi/Alabama All-Star game.

Named to the Clarion Ledger's Dandy Dozen list.

Josh Boyd is expected as one of the top prospects from the state of Mississippi for the 2009 class; Boyd says he can bench 385 pounds and squat 520.

2007 (10-3) stats: 154 tackles, 27 for loss, 10 sacks, two blocked punts and two blocked PATs.

Academics unreported/awaiting ACT results

Boyd: "I'm quick off the ball and have a lot of power. I'm a good pass rusher too. I'm just a good combo of speed and power.

"But I still want to work on getting to the quarterback faster and use more moves and stuff. I lift weights and run a lot. I'm also doing cone drills and just trying to stay in shape."

Boyd says he can bench 385 pounds and squat 520 pounds.
