He set all-time school records in the 100 yard dash and 220 yard dash, and won the NCAA Championship in the 100 yard dash in 1950. After graduation, Boyd went on to a distinguished NFL career with the Los Angeles Rams, reaching a personal great in 1954 when he caught 53 passes for 1,212 yards and 6 touchdowns. In 1986, Boyd was elected to the LMU Hall of Fame.
