Boykin demonstrated his versatility throughout the 2011 season as a bona fide star on defense and special teams and an impact player on offense. Boykin played nearly every down at cornerback; returned kickoffs and punts, played on the kickoff and punt coverage teams; and saw action at tailback, wide receiver and quarterback in a "wild-dog" offensive set. A second team All-Southeastern Conference selection by the league's coaches at defensive back, he helped Georgia score in all three facets of the game as a senior.
