VIDEO: Xavier's Tim Boyle Commits to UConn on National Signing Day
Following three straight state championships with the Falcons, the quarterback from Middlefield is headed to Storrs to play for the Huskies this fall.
Middlefield's Tim Boyle was joined by his family, Xavier teammates and coaches and school officials on Wednesday morning as he officially committed to the University of Connecticut on National Signing Day.
The star quarterback for the Falcons passed for nearly 2,500 yards and 24 touchdowns during the 2012 season in leading the team to its third straight state title. He also carried the ball for 295 yards and five TDs.
Boyle, who previously committed to playing at Boston College this fall, chose UConn after the Eagles made a coaching change that resulted in a different style of offense.
