Boise State football's big crop of linebackers has lost one of its young talents.
The school confirmed Sunday redshirt freshman Breydon Boyd has left the program. Boyd, from Katy, Texas, was a highly-recruited player out of high school, having once been committed to Iowa State.
A hand injury during fall camp in part prevented him from getting on the field last season. He spoke to the media in late August about Hurricane Harvey's devastation on his hometown. This past spring, Boyd (6-foot-3, 219 pounds) worked behind junior Tyson Maeva and sophomore Benton Wickersham at middle linebacker.
