A well-traveled slot receiver who found his best college form at Utah State after stops at Minnesota and Texas Tech, Brady Boyd signed with the Jaguars as an undrafted free agent in 2026.
Brady Boyd's college career wound through three programs before he settled in at Utah State for a productive 2025 season. Jacksonville signed the slot-heavy receiver as an undrafted free agent after the 2026 NFL Draft, giving him a shot to carve out a depth role behind Jacksonville's established wideouts.
Path to the league
Boyd starred at Carroll Senior High School in Southlake, Texas, before committing to Minnesota, where a limited freshman season sent him into the transfer portal. He spent three seasons at Texas Tech with modest receiving numbers before transferring again, this time to Utah State for his final year of eligibility.
Career highlights
Boyd's college production was backloaded: after totaling fewer than 20 catches across his Minnesota and Texas Tech seasons combined, he broke out at Utah State in 2025 with 46 receptions for 743 yards and eight touchdowns, working primarily out of the slot. He earned honorable mention All-Mountain West recognition for that season and showed a knack for yards after the catch.
2025 season recap
Boyd's 2025 season at Utah State was the best of his career by a wide margin, highlighted by a six-catch, 87-yard game against Texas A&M. He went unselected in the 2026 NFL Draft but signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars as an undrafted free agent, where he faces a steep climb behind starters Parker Washington, Jakobi Meyers, Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter.
