‘Honorable’ Man: LIU-Brooklyn’s Boyd Receives AP All-American Mention
Julian Boyd, one of the most decorated players in LIU-Brooklyn basketball history, isn’t just a Downtown phenomenon anymore.
The San Antonio native earned a coveted spot on the Associated Press’ 2012 All-America teams this week, garnering honorable mention after spearheading the Blackbirds to their second straight NCAA Tournament berth.
The reigning Northeast Conference Player of the Year, two-time First Team All-NEC selection and former NEC Rookie of the Year continues to pile up the accolades as LIU has brought big-time college basketball back to our fair borough.
Boyd, a third-year forward who sat out a season with a heart ailment that threatened to cut short his collegiate career, has been the lynchpin of the Blackbirds’ resurgence on the national scene.
