Concord Mourns the Passing of Hall of Fame Member Jeff Boyles

ATHENS, W.Va. – The Concord University Athletic Department is saddened to announce the death of Concord Hall of Fame member Jeff Boyles who passed away Saturday evening.
 
Boyles was a four-year starter at quarterback for the Mountain Lion football team from 1974-77. He was inducted into the CU Hall of Fame in 1996—the second class in school history.
 
Boyles, a native of Princeton, West Virginia, led Concord to back-to-back conference championships in 1976 and 1977 as well as CU's first-ever national playoff berth in 1977. Boyles' 5,602 passing yards rank sixth in program history. He was a two-time All-WVIAC First Team selection (1974, 1977).
 
"We offer our thoughts and prayers to Jeff's family during this difficult time," Concord Director of Athletics Kevin Garrett said. "Jeff and his teammates helped set the standard for not only Concord football, but Concord Athletics as a whole, during their careers. He was a great ambassador for Concord."
 
Overall, Boyles quarterbacked the Mountain Lions to a record of 29-15-1 over his four-year career.
