a tough, disruptive WKU linebacker with proven backfield production
In the 2008 season, Blake Boyd was a physical, high-impact Western Kentucky linebacker who led the Hilltoppers in tackles for loss and sacks, and ESPN’s career stats list 49 solo tackles and 3 sacks overall[1][4]. WKU also described him as a difference-maker on defense in 2008, and a 2007 team release highlighted his speed and depth as traits he believed helped him compete at the FBS/FCS level[8][10]. The big caveat: he did not return for the 2009 season because of academic issues, so any team fit has to weigh his on-field punch against off-field reliability[15].
