  • Me and boyd go way back

  • Boyd is the man

  • @UM4LIFEBABY how one year can change lol

  • to bad hes a tiger and not a buckeye

  • we love you tajh; yu better kick ass in college =)

  • Tajh, as a member of Tiger Nation, welcome to Clemson. I know that you are excited and looking forward to September 5 when we host the Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders. I know that you probably took some flack for leaving Virginia, but if Clemson is where you are comfortable and happy, then go for it. There is more to life than Cavaliers and Hokies. Congratulations and best of luck.

  • My God,I just didnt realize he ws that big until I saw him throwing in a few clips from practice last week.Great looking arm for a rook too.

  • puts some music on this, this is boring

  • he looks alot like Troy Smith to me!!!! Go oklahoma sooners!!!

  • listen i like clemson but the acc is not the best division if you knew your sports you would know that the sec is the most dominate not the big ten or the big 12 fuck those ohio state sucks dick o look at me we have terrel pryor who gives a fuck he sucks and the pac 10 is a really good division if i was boyd i would have went with the fucking ducks

  • Comment removed

  • The SEC is the best con in college football. The big 10 could only drem to be as good from top to bottom. Ask OSU how good the SEC is.

  • RU serious, CHOKLOHOMA, was your best rep and got their ass handed to them by Florida. I like LSU myself, from top to bottom the SEC is the best football conference in the land, hands down. BIG 12...,PLEASE.

  • the big 12 may have to be the worst conferences to watch in college football. Only thing that they know how to do is pass. They dont know what a defense is or a running game. It is so boring to watch them play. And i dont consider it football if you score 60 points in a game!!

  • I don't think it's boring if u score 60 points in a game!

  • It is way more exciting to watch a strong defense making big hits and interceptions. Not watching a qb throw the same pass to the same receiver over and over. Isnt true that defenses win championships, and yall didnt win the national championship this year did you?

  • Wait u think I'm a big 12 fan? Lol dude I'm a Buckeye fan all the way... my team didn't win the national championship, but we ran the ball way more than we passed it. Especially w/ Terrelle Pryor as qb. And we're known 4 having good defense.

    And no doubt it's awesome seeing big hits on defense, but it's boring 2 see 3 and out over and over.

    And I never said it was exciting 2 watch a team pass all game 2 get 60 pts. but it's exciting 2 c a balanced offense do that..

    GO BUCKS!!!

  • @smurphdawg101 what do u consider it then. and im amsuming u consider the nfl boring to because its a prodominantly passing league now.

  • terrel pryor is a beast lol i wish he was at clemson!!!

  • lmao Terrelle Pryor sucks huh? And u think Tajh Boyd is any better?

  • thats kind of a "wait and see" thing,isnt it?

  • ok I really hate saying this (from a UM fans prospective) but Boyd isn't gonna get better than Pryor... what was he a 4 star recruit? Pryor will accomplish more in his college career than Boyd. I just hope he doesn't against Michigan haha. Good luck dude!

  • I'm going to take a 'wait and see" attitude on this.he is at ohio st,remember? I thought that Mourice Cla. was going to be the best running back in college football history after theit nat champ game.We see how that ended up.I have always considered mich fans to be some of the most knowledgeable,and hope like hell that they beat the bucks every year,so give me the benefit of the doubt.Plus,you might still owe us one for getting woodey hayes fired all those years ago.What an ass he was.

  • Since Clarrett nobody has gotten into trouble and stayed in it... Troy Smith got into trouble early in his career and look how he turned out. Damn I hate Ohio St!!! lol but Pryor hasn't had any any trouble issues so I think he's good... damn it!!! lol oh and thanks on the Woody Hayes thing haha.

  • clemson??????? I bet his parents get a fat check everymonth lol! what the hell was he thinking!! i wonder what kinda car he is going to be driving first day off class

  • he came because of his friend mcneal.. and i go to clemson, only one football player has gotten a car from clemson and thats James Davis lol

  • Boyd sucks. He's a head case. That's why he wasn't good enough for TN. And why Tressel at OSU pulled his offer.

  • lol osu didn't pull their offer, thats nonsense homerism.

  • i go to clemson and i have no idea why he choose us lol...all we do is throw screen passes and maybe 1 deep ball a game :( ...atleast we have spiller coming back!

  • Well thats why we fired Rob Spence...

  • uh he gettin some fringe benefits if u know what i mean

  • Dabo is running a different offense than Spence, so it wont be screen passes all day, we only have thrown 3 or 4 a game, which is alot less than what we used to

  • Kid's pretty good glad he's coming to clemson!!

  • too bad he has a torn acl ha he has been playing with one all year he will have to redshirt or he will ruin his knee

  • yeah i wish tajh boyd the best of luck!!im just mad by the simple fact that he chose "CLEMSON" hopeless football... anyway GO DUCKS..PAC 10 CHAMPS 2009....YEAH I SAID IT!!!!!

  • This is JUST what weve been needing down here in Tiger Town! We havent had a highly recruited quarterback in AGES! You want be saying hopeless within 2 years... i can guarantee you that! :)

  • wow good job clemson finally got a QB!! we got jeremiah masoil and darron thomas we are good for a couple of years masoil a junior next year and thomas a sophmore

  • im a duck fan and clemson will be a good place for Boyd, i think he'll do very well there.

  • duck fan here,hey does anybody have any info on keith price???he visited oregon on 11/14/2008 he stated that oregon wanted to offer but hes grades were alilttle too low!!do you guys think that oregon will offer now that tajh "idiot"boyd is off the market!!

  • welcome 2 clemson. theres are starting quarterback for next year probably

  • Welcome to Clemson Tajh!

  • why are oregon and ohio state fans still arguing? get your own recruit!

  • chriswinsalways shut the hell up i bet you never payed any kind of sports!!!OREGON ALWAYS RECRUITS VERY WELL.... top 25 classes every year!!so yeah shut your mouth HOMO!!!!!

  • tron81 shut the hell up dont tell me that big 10 is overrated because we also know that tha acc blows!!! the pac 10 is the only conference that went 5-0 in their bowl games..anyhow a got alot respect for OSU AND THE BIG 1O then all you fools in the ACC

  • LOL...I doubt anyone wants to be a duck..lol

  • FKing moron, the next pat white.

  • Oh wait that school was his first commitment, Fking moron, the next wood danzler.

  • Welcome to Clemson Boyd......not only will you enjoy the team and fans, but you will enjoy your whole Clemson experience.

  • bryce brown aint comming to oregon now lol is all about the u

  • cdundov, yeah real exposure(do you mean overrated conference) lets see clemson's record since 2001: 2001(7-5)wow 2002(7-6)another wow 2003(9-4)2004(6-5)wow 2005(8-4) 2006(8-5) 2007(9-4) 2008(7-6)wow..sinse 2001 clemson has won 61 games versus oregons record since 2001 99 games, that an average of winning 10 games a year !!so you tell me who's got a better record!!!clemson would finish no better than sixth place in the pac 10...

  • tigermark82 yeah you may hav a bigger staduim,but who cares about capacity when really winning is all that matters hahaha..we are the only ones that give USC a run for their money!!yeah we are not USC OR OSUjust yet!!but we are defenite way better than clemson

  • The Clemson haters can shut the fuck up. There is a reason Clemson gets exposure and great bowl games...80,000+ at home games and always show up at the away games. Recruits rarely sign elsewhere after we get them on campus. GO TIGERS!

  • oregon!! seriously? yeah I wanna play in front of 40k people in a part of the country where few people care about college football and be on tv after 10pm on the east coast. Sign me up!

  • you did some great research there, yeah we care about college football here, i suppose you think oregon is the state of lumberjacks and rednecks?autzen may not be huge, but its one of the loudest in the nation, and oregon's games are rarely that late...

    Wanna do some research next time so your argument sounds valid?

  • halosfinest2007 i feel what you are saying what a freakin idiot....CLEMSON IS A JOKE their offense has all kinds of issues!!anyways and the best of luck tajh "idiot" boyd!!GO DUCKS!!!!

  • This guy couldn't have made a worst choice. Why would you want to be at Clemson? so what if you may play early. Clemson is nothing more than a 8-4 team . I wanted him to go to Ohio State, if not Ohio State at least go to Oregon where Chip Kelly is a Spread genius. If he went to Ohio State and started his junior and senior years. GOOD LUCK YOU'RE GOING TO NEED IT.

  • halofinest2007, why did you want him to go to Ohio State? They're a national joke outside of Big 10 country. Everyone knows they get blow out almost every time they play a team from the South. The only reason Ohio State gets so many BCS games it due to playing in the weak and overrated Big 10.

  • You stupid piece of dirt. The only thing that is a bigger joke than the ACC is Clemson. The ACC is fucking brutal atleast there is two Big 10 teams a year in BCS games every year that earn it. Who cares if they lose. The gets rocked in their BCS games. The only reason they might have a chance is because they play a Big East team. Before you talk shit about another conference make sure that your team is in the SEC or Big 12 not Clemson and the ACC.

  • haloesfinest2007, a 3-5 ACC Clemson team and a 5-3 Big 12 Nebraska team were dead even in the Gator Bowl, so it looks like the ACC isn't so bad.

  • you really shouldn't trash talk at all, i mean your name is halosfinest2007... enough said. have fun living in ur mom's basement and never being laid!

  • Buddy I get laid more than you can dream. Kids that usually say shit like that are the ones that don't get laid. I mean, I get laid so why would i be concerned about who else does? Also its halosfinest cuz it's fucking youtube, come with stronger shit than that or you just make yourself look dumb.

  • whats youtube have to do with calling yourself halosfinest? anyways you can just quit talking on here and find your own recruit to bitch over! C-L-E-M-S-O-N!!

  • Yeah I bet you do. I hear master chief LOVES the D.

  • OREGON OR OSU!!C'MON CLEMSON??WHY??

  • i guess tajh boyd is going to clemson!!what a fuckin idiot..i understand osu but CLEMSON WHAT A FUCKIN JOKE,anyway goodluck tajh. enjoy being in the bottom of your conference!!!

  • mexrc, are you a moron? Clemson is never anywere near the bottom of the conference! What exactly is your team, anyway?

  • Athleticism and Accuracy

    Oregon !

  • looks like he's OSU bound

  • C-L-E-M-S-O-N T-I-G-E-R-S

    Fight Tigers Fight Tigers Fight Fight Fight

  • HEISMAN@OREGON

  • Tuesday at 5pm TB presser folks

  • all my sources who are very reliable are telling me he's a buckeye

  • if oregon signs this kid, which they probably will, what are we gonna do with darron thomas.

    i think it was a mistake not redshirting him and starting masoli

  • There is a reason why,

    Todd McShay had Dennis Dixon at #3 QB taken

    Kiper at #2 QB taken

    in 07 during mid season

    and there is a reason why DD is still a QB in the NFL, not receiver

    Kelly's Spread is all right

  • Come to Oregon, Rehab the knee, Win a NC, Hold The Heisman, Be a 1st round pick, Get tons of poon.

    Find me and give me a check lol,.

  • Tajh,

    Be a Heisman winner for Oregon

    Start a TRADITION

  • eazy there son!!hey clemsonmanw11, did you know that his dad was actually wearing a duck hat@the army game!!he is been to clemson plenty of times he even said it, i know what to expect at clemson, he knew that he was going to enjoy it!!botom line is that we all know that he is coming to Eugene!!!Oregon has been lurking among the lite for 10 years now and its time to take it to the next level "COLLEGE FOOTBALL CHAMPS" GO DUCKS

  • after his clemson visit, i think he's really into clemson. he went to the clemson-wake basketball game which gave him a chance to part of our fan base in full gear. he also prob. likes our weather better and is used to it. we also don't have a for-sure qb yet. i'm just worried about him going to oregon. could careless bout osu

  • looks lke clemson now has better shot than osu at this kid

  • I love this,

    Ohio State fans try to break down Oregon while Oregon fans try to boost themselves up

    It shows real insecurity

  • Chip Kelly has only been here two years! Just give him two years with any running qb and they'll become great throwing qbs! im sorry but after masoli, thomas is gonna take the wheel...t.boyd or not

  • uh Thomas said in his interview that he wants to play receiver in college. Who can argue, he's tall and fast.

  • welcome to oregon baby

  • Bryce Brown and Tajh boyd welcome to the U of O

  • the next oregon qb to nfl jeremaih masoli only a junior next year baby. and not to metion running back since 2000 in nfl draft. like 3 soon to be 4 jeremiah johnson

  • Johnson is the 5th or 6th back in the draft actually

  • after senior bowl hes 2nd or start of 3rd round.

  • I've said time to time

    JJ is a 2nd round pick, 1st in my book

    that 5th or 6th back, means

    5th or 6th Oregon RB getting drafted this decade. Smith, Whitehead, Morris, Stewart

  • His throwing form looks just like Dennis Dixon

  • yeah a natural passer

    Dixon had quick release, accuracy, combined with power

  • yeah that is why Oregon sent most QB's into the NFL from this decade than any other schools

    it's no big deal

  • Oh you mean the likes of Akili smith,Joey harrington and Kellen clemens? They're all so hot right now.

  • Hm maybe you should name some great Ohio State QBs in the past few years

    As I remember, Kellen Clemens is the starter of the New York Jets now. Now that Brett Favre realizes that he's old.

  • kellen is a backup, just like troy smith.

  • When is the last time ORegon was rated in the top 10. The next Troy Smith.

  • Oregon was #2 in the nation last year until dixon went down and they finished 9 and 10 in the AP and USA polls at the end of this year. Dont forget when they finished 2nd in the nation with joey harrington...just to name a few

  • sportsmarketing at Nike U

    oh and not to mention developing tremendously under guru Chip Kelly

  • Ya I saw that. I heard he is going to announce in a week or so. It's going to be close between Ohio State and Oregon. I hope he picks OSU.

  • i want him to go to oregon, oregon has the slight edge over ohio state anyway.

  • It's sad, but true. You're right Oregon has the slight edge right now. I doubt Clemson shows up late.

  • Boyd might make the trip to Clemson, he might have to postpone it. Tressel just had a meeting with Boyds parents, at the Boyds house. I heard it went really good.

  • Tajh Boyd and Bryce Brown both considering Oregon as their top schools. Scary duo of the future will take Oregon to the top of the pac 10 past USC. Oregon is ranked in the top 10 in offense production.

  • down to OSU / Oregon

  • isnt that what happened with pryor??

  • This kid is a Clemson Tiger all the way. I wouldnt doubt it if he commits to Clemson after is offical visit this weekend!

  • I see everyone is arguing, so here is who he is considering in order.

    1. Oregon

    2. Ohio St

    3. Boston College

    4. Penn St

    5. Virgina

  • i hear Michigan is sneaking up on this kid :)

  • True Story Hart, he's visiting Ann Arbor on Jan. 9th.

    ~GO BLUE!!

  • Mr Buckeye Fan why would he be a buckeye wen the buckeyes hav 6'6" 235 pound Terrelle Pryor who can run and throw and hes only a freshman

  • possibly because they need a QB after Pryor leaves???

  • Don't count on Boyd going to either Ohio State or Oregon. Honestly I see Clemson entering the picture in a major way.

  • He'll be a Clemson Tiger for sure! Boyd will take over as QB as a Redshirt Sophomore after Willy Korn's time at Clemson is done.

  • What about Kyle Parker? I say the logical choice is Ohio State. If he redshirts he will be the starter for his junior and senior years.

  • Kyle Parker may stick to baseball where he's doing very well.

  • Even if boyd is not redshirted, he could be the starter for his junior and senior years. if boyd is redshirted, he could very well be the starter his redshirt sophomore year.

  • now all of this assumes pryor leaves early

  • he'll prob. get drafted first round in the mlb drat b4 the season. he's one of our star baseball players. idk why he'd go to ohio state w. pryor there. he'd have the best oppurtunity at clemson

  • He wants to honor those that sought him in the beginning (aka Oregon and Ohio State). It's true, he was told he would basically be the starter once he was healthy at Clemson, but he also said he would have no problem redshirting and even said he was confident he could be better than TP. His parents are also big Ohio State fans. That said, had he committed yesterday he probably wouldve picked Oregon but now he'll visit Clemson, strongly consider it, but my hunch is Ohio State.. it's just a hunch.

  • Because he has the best chance of becoming an NFL quarterback at Ohio State. That's why TP came. Look at Troy Smith. He was a running quarterback but then developed into a passer. If he wants to develop into an NFL quarterback, Ohio State is the best bet for him.

  • no he narrowed it down to ohio state and oregon

  • we'll see where the ducks are in a couple years compared to ohio state. ohio state plays in a HORRIBLE conference. the big ten is a JOKE. and what is that weak non-conference scheduling? its always troy st and akron etc... plus a usc who always kicks the crap out of you. Oregon has a lot of good talent coming back and chip kelly is an offensive mastermind. GO DUCKS!

  • i hate to say this but oregon barely got by one of the worst tems in the big ten (purdue)

  • At Purdue, down to their fourth-string QB. And they did happen to win the game last I checked.

  • oh yeah they won in multiple overtimes, and oh yeah, last time i checked the worst tems in the ncaa were in the pac 10 (wash. and wash st.). at least are bad teams contend with your good teams.

  • oh yeah, oh yeah and oh yeah, you're an idiot. The Big Ten was what, 1-6 in bowl games this year? You're right, they're great.

  • As far as i can tell we didnt really get great matchups like the pac 10 did- lets recap, northwestern, whos wasn't even ranked in the top 50 to start the season took a preseason #8 ranked missouri into overtime, a sub-par mich. state contended with preseason#1 georgia. iowa destroyed south carolina of the all mighty sec.Texas was supposed to destroy ohio st, but osu only lost by three USC is great. they are the best team in the country year in and year out, but thats really all there is.

  • You just keep telling yourself that. You really don't want to be in the position of continually making excuses and unsubstantiated claims that you can't back up with evidence. It would be better for you if you manned-up and said "we'll get you next year" instead of all this nonsensical BS you're spewing.

  • i dont think u realize that ohio state has won seven national championships. Correct me if im wrong but im quite sure oregon has none. also if i remember correctly the last time ohio state and oregon played, ohio state won by ten. i guess if tajh wanted to go to a famous running school he should go to oregon, but as far as football goes.............

  • If you go by that standard, Notre Dame, Ohio State, and USC would get all the good recruits

    Not everyone should pick their school based on their winning % all time..

  • Don't forget Michigan, they are number 1 in wins and win percentage, so that guy is saying that Michigan, notre lame, usc, and osu would get every big time recruit.

    Go Blue!

  • Sorry, hah, cant believe i forgot michigan, that makes me feel stupid

  • LOL, it's cool man. Well, I didn't think clemson even offered this guy, but best of luck to him!

    Go Blue!

  • Tajh doesnt want to be the next akili smith or ryan leaf, he wants to be the next drew brees or tom brady.

  • Good luck everybody. Oregon has their quarterback, Jeremiah Massoli for the next few years, osu has their quarterback, pryor for the next few years, Michigan has a WIDE open quarterback job, that's very attractive to a young guy, a chance to play right away at a big time school, but we'll see where he goes, we're goin after other quarterbacks too, so it's not a huge loss if we don't get this guy.

    Go Blue!

  • he play just like troy smith

  • I think it's Hilarious that he would retract his commitment from WVU! They have an excellent receiving group coming in and he would have been Perfect for their system. Now WVU has the Smith kid, who IMO is probably better than Boyd. I think Boyd missed his calling and now is just going to settle.

  • Come to Oregon and start your own legacy a la Dennis Dixon or go to Ohio state and choke every season. Chip Kelly will turn you into the complete package.

  • Oregon? Really?

    Have they EVER won a national title?

    Sorry, it's over. He is a Buckeye.

  • Oregon has turned out more nfl qb's then ohio st and even 2 former duck qbs are in the nfl hall of fame. This guy would do amazing in Chip kelley's offense.

    Go Ducks!!!

  • hell yea. Masoli has impressed me but if we red shirt him he'll start as a sophmore if he signs

  • they also turned out akili smith....

  • ...or he can go to Ohio State and be the next Troy Smith, or Perhaps the Next Terrel Pryor...and go to the BCS every year with a legit shot at the NC year in and year out....lol but ofcourse he is going to go to oregon right?? lol...ur funny

  • Only reason they go to BCS games every year is because of that shit conference the Big Ten.There is barely any challenge in that conference and every time they play someone good like Florida or USC they get DESTROYED i think texas is gonna kill them too.

  • looks like you were wrong

  • or you know he could just commit to Oregon tomorrow along with Bryce McNeal and Cliff Harris (already confirmed)

    sorry but Boyd is already a Duck.

  • you guys are fucking stupid... he's not coming to whore ann arbor, he's a buckeye... mark it down

  • with a qb decommit at michigan got be the next pat white

  • Future Oregon Superstar

    Perfect for Chip Kelly's spread offense

    Heisman!

  • 2:26 is hilarious - there's five DBs surrounding the underneath guy and nobody covering the deep man!

    I'm a UT Vol fan, and very upset about Lane Kiffin's decision to shoo this kid away. His passing looked great - are we going to be prejudiced against him because he has some athletic ability? So does D. McNabb. Because he isn't 6'5? Neither is D. Brees.

    How can a coach just say no to a kid, just b/c he wouldn't "fit the system"? Give him a chance to learn it! Peyton Manning won't just show up.

  • why go to tOSU and watch for 2 years?

  • agreed, this kid has potential. if he goes to michigan, he will be either the starter or the backup (gets alot of action too) we're not losing another one to the fuckeyes

  • stfu, he's coming to Columbus and is going to backup Pryor until he gets his chance. who the fuck would want to play at that shitbag ann arbor anyways

  • "if he goes to michigan he will either be a starter or a backup"...... good call

  • nice coverage at 2:27

  • Sounds like he committed to the Buckeyes

  • haha fsjsa2007 sure he's going to be playing for the maize and blue... they suck ass! good luck with that bud. this boy is going to be a BUCKEYE!

  • This is down to the bucks and oregon for Boyd.....and Nevada has pulled the ===== so this kid will definitely be a buckeye!

  • this stud gonna be playing in the maize and blue!!!!

  • Looks like Troy Smith...

  • word is soft commit to tennessee? lane kiffin? STICK WIT DA VOLS HOLME BOI!!!!!!!!!!!! WE NEED U!

  • Looking like a strong Buckeye lean!

  • He contacted Spurrier... interesting.

  • Go Cocks!

  • Looks like a perfect fit for the Oregon Ducks. Tajh would thrive under the tutelage of the master, also known as Chip Kelly.

  • He'll look great in green

  • I cant wait until he becomes a buckeye.

  • Boyd was told that his scholarship would be honored, but that he would not be "the guy" at QB in Kiffin's system.

  • HES A BUCKEYE.. LETS RUN!

  • Boyd was contacted today by Lane Kiffin and bold his commitment would not be honored. TenneeSEE-ya Boyd...bring on Matt Barkley or Aaron Murray!

  • LMAO at Matt Barkley, no chance. I did hear that Murray is showing intrest. Get him and you probably get Marlon Brown.

  • Tayh Boyd doesn't want to play puzzy Lil-East ball, he wants actual competition from the best conference in football, lol jealous WVu fans. lol lol lol lol lol

  • jkeenan18, you say he wants to play with actual competition from the "best" conf.,..... well, the Big East has a winning record against the SEC in all time college football history..... so we cant be too bad, huh?...... and no, Im not saying the Big East is a better conference, either...... Im just saying we have a winning record head to head with the SEC.....just stating facts...

  • so all-time would include Miami and Virginia Tech -- neither of which you have anymore in your lame ass conference.
