Seven years ago today Tajh Boyd, a former high school all-American quarterback, committed to Clemson and became a building block for the Tigers’ future success.

The anniversy of is commitment did not go unnoticed by Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney, who sent Boyd a text that read, “7 years ago today you changed Clemson when you committed to be a TIGER!!!”

Boyd gave the best response possible when he replied by texting, “Hahah it moves fast! Dabo and Daboyd for life.” With an emoji that looks like the Tigers coach doing the “Dab.”

After redshirting in 2009, Boyd played for the Tigers from 2010-13 and racked up 11,904 yards and 107 touchdown passes, both ACC records.

In 2011, Boyd led Clemson to an ACC championship. In 2012 the mobile QB set the ACC record for most TDs in a game when he threw for five and ran for three while racking up 529 all-purpose yards versus N.C. State en route to being named the ACC Player of the Year and an all-American.

In 2013, Boyd ended his storied Clemson career by leading the Tigers to a 40-35 victory over Ohio State in the Orange Bowl after throwing for 378 yards and five touchdowns while rushing for 127 yards and score.
