A do-it-all Gamecock back with NFL-caliber versatility
In the 2007 season, Cory Boyd led South Carolina with 903 rushing yards and 405 receiving yards, a rare dual-threat profile that made him one of the program’s most versatile backs.[3] He finished his Gamecock career with 2,267 rushing yards, 1,303 receiving yards, and 28 total touchdowns, showing real durability and production over time.[1][3] Evaluators and team notes consistently frame him as a complete back with good size, solid burst, and reliable hands, though a past team suspension is part of his backstory.[2][3]
