Michael Boykins brings veteran-DB grit to Mississippi Valley State
Michael Boykins is a seasoned Mississippi Valley State defensive back whose value shows up in the little things: tackling, edge, and steady play in the secondary. In the 2011 season, he was listed as an expected starter and posted 41 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and 4 passes defended, a profile that suggests a physical, versatile DB who can help in run support and coverage[1]. He’s the kind of defender coaches usually trust for discipline and toughness more than flashy stats, which makes him a useful fit for a team that wants reliability and a tone-setter in the back end[1].
