Xavier Boyce ‘s senior season ended prematurely after just four regular season games, as the 6-4, 210-pound safety/wide receiver missed the rest of the year due to a separated left shoulder. The Virginia Tech recruit has recovered from the injury, as evidenced by his play on the basketball court.

“He is healthy,” Landstown head coach Steve Canter said of Boyce, who did not have to have surgery on the injured shoulder. “He is playing really well in basketball right now. He is averaging about 18 points a game. He is doing really well.”
