Boyd has been one of the nation’s best and most consistent wide receivers, so this is not a very good development for Pitt. I’m sure this isn’t the way new head coach Pat Narduzzi envisioned starting off early on, but he will have to make a fairly tough decision on how to handle his star wide receiver.
Here is Pat Narduzzi’s statement:
Tyler’s situation is both serious and disappointing. We have high expectations for the young men in our program, on and off the field. Tyler understands that and knows he must be responsible for his actions. Certainly he will be held accountable to our internal standards of discipline and behavior.
I expect Boyd to hear his name called fairly early when he decides to head to the NFL, so I hope this is just a minor speed bump that he can get smoothed over.
