Reports: Middlefield's Boyle Weighs College Options

Hartford Courant sports writer Desmond Conner writes that Xavier quarterback Tim Boyle visited the University of Connecticut on Wednesday for an "unofficial" visit.

Last year, Boyle, who lives in Middlefield, committed to play quarterback for Boston College. He later went on to lead Xavier to the team's third straight state championship.

But Conner reports that Boyle is keeping his options open and eyeing the NFL as his ultimate goal.

"There are a lot of guys who feel he has the ability and the potential to take the next step after college, provided he's in the right system," Marinan told Conner. "And I think he knows that. And you know — you're not going to get there if you don't play."

Middletown Press sports reporter Jim Bransfield says Boyle is still considering BC, as well as Pittsburgh.
