Boyd, who was a walk on, will now have the opportunity to pick up a scholarship elsewhere. The Tigers are currently two over the 85 limit, meaning it was unlikely Boyd would have been placed on scholarship in 2023.

Boyd had been in a competitive battle for the starting placekicker job with Robert Gunn III.
