At a 5 PM press conference today, five-star recruit and U.S. Army Bowl MVP Tajh Boyd announced his decision to attend Clemson University—picking the Tigers over Oregon and Ohio State.

A mere month ago, Clemson was not even in the conversation for Boyd, but a strong push by new head coach Dabo Swinney pulled Tajh on board.

His father, Tim Boyd, was quoted recently comparing the three schools, citing the distance to Oregon and the quarterback situation at Ohio State as concerns for Boyd as he settled on Clemson.

Boyd also attributed his decision to an appreciation for the strong Christian values of Swinney.

Clemson has no set QB for the short or long-term, and Boyd will immediately have the opportunity to establish himself as the quarterback of the future at Clemson. Boyd is rated as the No. 4 QB in the country by scout.com, and capped off his senior season with a state title.
