The Hercules Salt Lake County High School Player of the Week is celebrating the best high school football player in Salt Lake County. Presented by Hercules First Federal Credit Union, each week we honor athletes for their exceptional performance on the gridiron. Our winner this week was Highland High running back and wide receiver Adriean “King” Boyd.
Salt Lake County Player of the Week – Adriean Boyd, Highland
The Highland Rams hosted the Viewmont Vikings on Friday night, wanting to secure a win to head into region play with positive momentum. Adriean King Boyd took center stage to lift the home side over the Vikings. Adriean finished the night with 5 receptions for 97-yards and two touchdowns, 4 carries for 61-yards and added a rushing touchdown late in the fourth that would prove decisive in the week three contest.

Responding to a touchdown from Viewmont, quarterback Will Bauman found Adriean for a 48-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter. The Rams added two touchdowns in the second quarter and took a 21-14 lead into halftime. Adriean would score the only Highland touchdown in the third quarter after connecting with Will on a 14-yard pass. In the fourth quarter, Adriean would power through the Vikings’ defense and found himself into the endzone again off a 50-yard touchdown run. Viewmont scored again late in the fourth quarter to be down 45-30, but the Rams’ defense held on with Adriean’s earlier rushing touchdown paying off to be game winning for Highland.
Every week, KSL Sports will name a Salt Lake County high school player of the week in partnership with Hercules First Federal Credit Union.
