Grambling State athletics remembers and mourns the passing of former Grambling State University women’s basketball star, Jazmin Boyd.
Boyd, member of the GSU women’s basketball team from 2015-2019, was one of the best women’s basketball players to ever step foot on the GSU campus. Her accomplishments included being named the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) Freshman of the Year in 2016. She followed up that stellar season by earning All-SWAC honors once again in 2017.
In 2018, she helped lead the Lady Tigers win the SWAC Tournament and secure a trip to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in nearly two decades. Boyd also scored over 1,000 points during her collegiate career.
“We are deeply saddened by the loss of our former women’s basketball student-athlete and GSU alumna, Jazmin Boyd,” said GSU Vice President for Athletics Dr. Trayvean Scott. “Our thoughts and prayers are with her family, friends, teammates and all who were touched by her remarkable life.” We ask for everyone to keep the Boyd family in your prayers during this very difficult time.”
