Before I get going here I just want to press the breaks a little bit and say I don't really have any expectations for Boyle and his career at Iowa due to the fact I don't know him, however what I have seen from him over the past 3-4 years has caused me to become very intrigued about where his future could go in football. Anyway so a couple years back I was back in Iowa and got talked into by a family member to go watch a Dowling football game as his son was a starter for them. I couldnt believe how good Boyle looked on the field as he just looked like a man playing against boys. I didnt think he would be a college QB but his athletic ability was good enough for B1G football. After the game I waited with my cousin for his son and while we were waiting Boyle came out and I remember thinking the kid looked more like a linebacker then a QB which got me thinking he could be an all-american LB with his athletic ability which was top notch. I played football for a small university down in the southeast and have 6 years of high school football coaching experience in Florida. I have seen some dang talented football players and Boyle belongs among them.
Fast forward to this last weekend. I came back to Iowa to visit some family and friends and ended up going to the spring game. Boyle at WR came out of nowhere for us and really impressed us. So one of my friends is really good friends with a guy that has a role with the team. Now let me say that anybody that works with the team that isnt a coach doesnt really know as much as many would think they would know. I guess the coaches do an amazing job of not talking openly about players around other staff so most of what they know about the team is just from being around each practice. So anyway we ask him about Boyle at WR and he said he is surprised too. That Boyle hasnt really spent any time at WR even in the practices leading up to the game. However when he did practice at WR the kid looked like he had been playing the position his entire life.
So now the hype machine begins. Boyle is a very talented and athletic kid who happens to have in my opinion a LB's or RB's frame on him, he can walk right into a different position (a skill position) and almost right away look like he has been there for years. I'm thinking KF has something special here.
