Adrian Boyd could do it all on the basketball court. His athletic ability helped him become an effective collegiate scorer, rebounder and shot blocker, as well as a leader. After leading his high school (Whitefish Bay) in scoring and rebounding his senior year, Boyd came to Viterbo to showcase his talents.

Boyd showed right away why Viterbo wanted him in a V-Hawks uniform. In his sophomore year, he began to re-write the school record book. Boyd led the team in scoring, rebounding, steals and blocked shots that year and garnered his second of four NCBT All-American awards. He also received his first of three Midwest Classic All-Conference and Wisconsin Independent College Association All-District awards.

Boyd capped off a superb career at Viterbo his senior year by leading the V-Hawks in rebounding, blocked shots and steals. He also earned NAIA All-American Honorable Mention and NAIA All-District that year. Boyd's 535 points gave him 1,705 career points, placing him second on the all-time list of leading scorers. Boyd also finished with a school-record 736 rebounds at Viterbo.

Boyd's hard work and talent on the court paid off when he was selected by the CBA's La Crosse Catbirds in 1991.
