An ACL injury derailed his debut season with the Tigers. He played in five games during the 2024-25 season, scoring seven points total and averaging 2.2 minutes.
Boyde is coming into a forward room that saw both graduate Tyrone Marshall Jr. and senior Babacar Faye enter the transfer portal. Seniors Leeroy Odiahi and Blaise Kieta have not entered the transfer portal, however, both averaged under 15 minutes a game.
