Undersized, light scoring guard dripping in swag and self-belief that he can score on anybody. Impacted winning at FAU and San Diego State before transforming into one of the best guards in the country at Wisconsin.
About
Second-team All-Big Ten and Big Ten All-Tournament Team selection at Wisconsin in 2025-26.

Starting guard on the FAU team that advanced to the 2023 Final Four.
Strengths
Dawg. Boyd takes winning seriously and is an infectious moral-raiser with sky-high competitive spirit. Takes on any challenge and believes he is the best player on the floor every single time.
Has a ton of answers to the test offensively with a barrage of pull-ups, stepbacks, floaters and creative layup packages in his finishing arsenal. Shot 37% from 3-point range, 48% on pull-ups, 43% on floaters and 56% on layups at Wisconsin. He’s a true three-level scoring threat, but does most of his damage as a driver to the cup with slithery rack attacks.
Posted a 2.4-to-1, assist-to-turnover ratio last season and can really run a team without making a ton of mistakes.
Weaknesses
Played five years of college basketball so there’s some wear on the tires and he’s close to a finished product at 25 years old.
Pretty slight frame. 6-foot-1 on a good day with a 6-2 wingspan and there aren’t many bricks in the britches.
How does he hold up defensively against the elite athletes that litter the NBA game?
Boyd logged 13 points (5-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five assists, two steals and one rebound in 25 minutes during Monday's 100-79 California Classic Summer League loss to the Nets.
Boyd continued his strong play at Summer League Monday, leading the team in assists and matching a team high in steals. Over his last two games at the California Classic, Boyd averaged 12.0 points, 7.5 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 26.0 minutes per contest. Boyd entered Summer League on an Exhibit 10 contract, so his impressive numbers could help him find a more substantial opportunity.

Boyd recorded 11 points (4-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 assists, seven rebounds and a steal in 27 minutes during Sunday's 91-85 loss to the Kings at the California Classic Summer League.
Boyd bounced back with an impressive all-around performance, finishing just three rebounds shy of a triple-double while leading the Warriors Blue in both rebounds and assists. After struggling in his Summer League debut by shooting just 2-for-10 from the field, he responded with a much more efficient outing in his second appearance. Boyd entered Summer League on an Exhibit 10 contract, but performances like this could help strengthen his case for a more substantial opportunity.
