Report: Spencer Boyd leaving ND

Freshman Spencer Boyd is leaving Notre Dame.  Boyd cited family reasons as the motivating factor in this decision.  Considering that he has a 2 year old son back home, Spencer is seemingly prioritizing his family first, which is admirable.

Boyd elected to join the Fighting Irish early, passing up his last semester of High School to participate in spring practice in South Bend.  He will remain at Notre Dame until the first academic summer session wraps up at ND.  Boyd will likely end up playing his first college football snap for former ND assistant and new South Florida head coach Skip Holtz.

While it is alsways difficult to see someone leave the ND family, it is much less painful when the young man is making a decision like this; to be a better father.  Good luck Spencer.
