LIU’s Boyd battling back from latest setback
Blackbirds' star forward rehabbing following tear of ACL in July
Perhaps there should be a photo of LIU-Brooklyn forward Julian Boyd next to the word “perseverance” in the dictionary.
The Blackbirds’ senior forward has had to overcome a potential life-threatening heart ailment and a brutal knee injury on his way to becoming one of the greatest basketball players in the Downtown school’s history.
The former Northeast Conference Rookie of the Year, Player of the Year and NEC Tournament Most Valuable Player has been at the forefront of LIU’s charge to an unprecedented NEC title three-peat since arriving here in 2008 from William Howard Taft High School in San Antonio.
