Ohio State flips four-star WR Brock Boyd from TCU

Southlake (Texas) Carroll On300 receiver Brock Boyd has flipped his commitment from TCU to Ohio State.

The four-star Boyd visited Columbus earlier this spring. He adds to a class On3 ranks No. 3 nationally.

“Columbus was great!” Boyd said at the time. Offensive coordinator Brian Hartline was the lead recruiter.

“The environment felt like Southlake. It moved fast and was intense, but most importantly they were detail-oriented. 

“That’s what separates them.”

Tennessee, Kentucky and Wisconsin were some of the other programs that tried to make a move on the four-star Boyd who committed to TCU back in July.

Ohio State had the things he’s looking for.

“Their pedigree of receivers that have come through is unmatched,” Boyd said. “They’re the only school that has produced what they have at a repetitive rate.”

Scouting new Ohio State commit Brock Boyd

As a junior the 6-foot-2, 180-pound Boyd caught 111 passes for 1,868 yards and 19 touchdowns. On3 tabs him as the No. 32 receiver in the country and No. 224 prospect overall.

“A competitor,” Southlake Carroll head coach Riley Dodge said. “Ultimate competitor.”

Dodge elaborated on Boyd who had offers from Oklahoma, Baylor and SMU as well.

“Obviously he has a big skillset. High school coaches kid (father is tight ends coach). Obviously grown up around the game, been in a lot of different locker rooms his entire life. Older brother at Utah State now, wide receiver. He’s a dude.

“I think first thing that jumps off the page is detailed route runner. Understands coverages, understands the voids are in defenses. I think that’s nowadays uncommon with high schoolers, especially wide receiver position. Not just being a route runner but understanding where the holes are at. I think his ball get-off is elite and one thing he does better than most is catch radius. He can really flip his hips, elevate and high point the ball.”
