Pitt standout receiver Boyd suspected of DUI
Pitt wide receiver Tyler Boyd is suspected of driving under the influence after being pulled over early Friday morning, but no charges have been filed.
Boyd, 20, was stopped for a traffic violation around 2:35 a.m. Friday on Route 885 in Jefferson Hills, Pa., according to Jefferson Hills police Sgt. Kevin King.
“There is suspicion of alcohol, but there are no results of any test at this point,” King said today. “At this point no charges have been filed and no results of any toxicology tests at this time.”
The incident is still under investigation, King said.
Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi released a statement Sunday night calling the situation “both serious and disappointing.”
“We have high expectations for the young men in our program, on and off the field,” Narduzzi said. “Tyler understands that and knows he must be responsible for his actions. Certainly he will be held accountable to our internal standards of discipline and behavior.”
Boyd was Pitt’s leading receiver last season, hauling in 78 catches for 1,261 yards and 8 TDs.
