Mendenhall: Brady Boyd Brings ‘Exceptional Work Ethic’ To Utah State

SALT LAKE CITY – Wide receiver Brady Boyd is looking to make an impact in his first season at Utah State as a senior transfer from Texas Tech.

The 6’1, 195-pound wideout is the next player named to the KSL Sports Zone Hans & Scotty G. 2025 60 in 60 list.

“Brady Boyd is a great leader,” USU head coach Bronco Mendenhall said. “Brady came to us as another Division One transfer. Exceptional work ethic, highly productive, good with the ball after the catch, strong leadership skills, and very versatile.”

Mendenhall expects offensive coordinator Kevin McGiven to get the ball in Boyd’s hands in a variety of ways.

“We’re going to use him in a lot of different ways,” Mendenhall stated. “We like the maturity, but we also like the productivity. We like, possibly, the volume of things he can do.”
