Clemson had an 11-2 record this year, the program’s highest win total since 1981. The Tigers concluded the season with a 25-24 win over seventh-ranked (USA Today) LSU team in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. Boyd was 36-50 for 346 yards and two touchdowns in that game.
“I’ve enjoyed my time here at Clemson,” said Boyd. “I’ve been a part of a great family and learned so much as a person and as a player. I’m not ready to give it up yet, so I’m here to announce that I’ll be returning for my senior season here at Clemson University.
“It was a big process. I had pros and cons for each side. For me, it came down to me enjoying being at Clemson. I love playing college football and I feel like we have a lot of goals left on the table.
“I thought it (the decision) was pretty clear at first, but its been weighing on me for about the past five days. So I really sat down and thought about it, prayed about it. In the end it (coming back) was the best decision for me.” "
