Clemson Recruiters Visiting Boyd
By Phil Kornblut
Clemson recruiters Billy Napier and Danny Pearman are making an in home visit Monday afternoon with QB Tajh Boyd (6-1 208) of Hampton, VA. The pair arrived at the Boyd house shortly after 5:00 PM. Clemson is one of the final three for Boyd who will announce Tuesday at 5:00 PM for the Tigers, Oregon or Ohio State. His father, Tim Boyd, announced his preference Monday afternoon. "I prefer Clemson," Mr. Boyd said. "But, he might like Oregon because he always liked it growing up. And he was always a Troy Smith (Ohio State) fan growing up, but we know who's there (at quarterback). Oregon is far away. Maybe down the line we'll be out there as a family. But the three days he was there on his official visit he was homesick. Seven hours down the road (is Clemson) and we can choose to stay here in Virginia or we can move. No one has established himself there (at quarterback). I think at the end of the day he'll end up picking Clemson. I'll be surprised if he doesn't. If he doesn't it's because he liked the other programs for his own personal reasons. Coach Swinney coming and saying Tajh is his guy and he wants to come in with a top caliber quarterback is important. Feeling comfortable in that situation and they've been on him hard and making him feel like he's needed there. You want to feel like you're needed and not just wanted."
