Hall of Fame
The leading scorer in Towson basketball history, Devin Boyd '93 was inducted into the Towson Athletics Hall of Fame in 2004.
He finished his career with 2,000 points. A four-year starter at guard, the Baltimore native led the Tigers to the best five-year run in school history. In addition to finishing his career as Towson’s all-time scoring leader, he also set a school record with 438 career assists.
He was the key player on the Tigers’ back-to-back NCAA Tournament teams in 1990 and 1991. As a freshman in 1989, he led the Tigers to a 19-10 record and was named as the East Coast Conference Rookie of the Year.
In 1990, as a sophomore, he was the starting point guard for the Tigers’ first NCAA Tournament team, helping Towson win the East Coast Conference (ECC) Tournament and battle number one-ranked Oklahoma to the final minutes in the first round of the NCAA Tourney. He earned all-tournament honors at the ECC Tourney.
In 1991, he was named as the ECC Player of the Year as he led the Tigers to their second straight ECC championship and an NCAA Tournament appearance. The leading scorer in the ECC with a 20.7 average, he was also the Most Valuable Player at the Baltimore Beltway Classic and earned all-tournament honors at the ECC Tournament. One of the Tiger captains, he was named first team All-ECC.
In 1991-92, Boyd played in just one game – the season opener at Colorado. In the midst of a 27-point performance, he suffered a fractured elbow injury and missed the rest of the season. Returning for a “red shirt” season in 1992-93, he was a team captain for the third straight season. With the Tigers in their first season as members of the Big South Conference, he averaged 23.0 points per game and was named first team All-Big South. He also led the Tigers to an 18-9 record and became Towson’s all-time scoring leader.
Highlighting his senior year was a 46-point outburst in a double-overtime win at UMBC in the regular-season finale. He earned honorable mention All-America honors after his senior season.
In his five years of association with the Tiger basketball program, he helped Towson compile a 91-56 record and earn two trips to the NCAA Tournament.
