Connor Boyett brings length, experience, and edge-setting versatility to UAB
Boyett is a seasoned, high-motor defensive end who has played extensively for UAB, appearing in 36 games with 26 starts and showing the ability to move between end and tackle when needed. In 2012, he logged 17 tackles, 4 tackles for loss, 3 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery, which points to a disruptive, assignment-sound player who can affect both the run and pass game. UAB also described him as a preseason starter, and interviews from camp suggest he added strength and adjusted well to a new system, making him a fit for teams that value toughness, flexibility, and steady production over flash.
