John Boyd is a Clemson roster name, but not a current impact linebacker
John Boyd’s Clemson profile is from 2018-19, when he was a reserve linebacker/special teams player who appeared in six games in 2019 and did not record notable defensive production; there is no current 2026 Clemson stat line showing him as an active contributor. The big takeaway: he was valued for depth and special teams reliability rather than splashy numbers, so he would have been a fit for a team needing experience and role discipline more than headline-chasing production.
