Xavius Boyd was a havoc-wreaking WKU linebacker with elite backfield disruption
Xavius Boyd made his name at Western Kentucky as a high-motor linebacker who consistently lived in the backfield: in the 2013 season, he won Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Year after posting 103 tackles, 15.5 tackles for loss and 8.5 sacks, and he had already built a reputation as a playmaker with 258 career tackles, 28.5 TFL and 10.5 sacks at WKU. He was praised for toughness, urgency and production, though scouting notes also pointed to a need for better strength and discipline. If your team wants a relentless, disruptive defender, Boyd fits the vibe—he’s the kind of LB who makes offenses earn every inch.
