Travers Family Head Football Coach Tosh Lupoi announced the addition of Connor Boyd as the Bears' safeties coach on December 27, 2025.
Boyd helped Oregon post a 47-7 overall record since 2022, win a 2024 Big Ten title and reach the College Football Playoff twice (2024, '25). He was a part of a defense that has been ranked fourth or higher in its final years in the Pac-12 Conference and sixth or higher in its first two seasons in the Big Ten.
Boyd, who has been with Oregon since 2022, was a defensive analyst this past season under Lupoi.
Prior to Oregon, Boyd was a graduate assistant at the University of Colorado (2021) and a volunteer defensive assistant at the University of Tennessee (2020). While in Knoxville, he assisted with the outside linebackers, worked on weekly scouting reports and offensive breakdowns while also assisting with the scout team among his overall responsibilities. Before his time at UT, he served as a graduate assistant at Jacksonville State University for two seasons (2018-19).
Boyd earned his bachelor's degree in Physical Education from the University of Alabama in 2018, making the Dean's List as a senior. He received his Master's in Sports Management from Jacksonville State in 2020.
As an undergrad at Alabama, Boyd spent three years working as a student assistant in the football office. He was involved in a variety of duties, which included assisting offensive line coach Brent Key, charting assignments for the linemen, breaking down opponent video for scouting reports, and assisting coaches and analysts with daily on-field assignments. He also helped with recruiting, editing prospect videos, planning road itineraries and had responsibilities for events such as official visits and junior days (two of the recruiting classes he helped with were ranked No. 1 in the nation by 247sports.com).
