Congratulations to Blue Springs High School alum Brandon Lloyd on being inducted into the University of Illinois Athletics Hall of Fame.
Lloyd graduated from BSHS in 1999 and starred in football and track. He is the 1997 and 1999 Missouri High School High Jump Champion, setting a school and state record with an incredible jump of 7 feet, 2 inches. Lloyd held the state high jump record until 2010.
During his time at the University of Illinois, Lloyd was the leading wide receiver. His team won a Big 10 title and played in the Nokia Sugar Bowl. Lloyd finished his career in Illinois with the second-most receiving years of 2,835 and 21 touchdown receptions.
Lloyd was drafted in the 4th round of the 2003 NFL Draft and played 11 seasons in the NFL. He led the NFL in receiving yards during the 2010 season with the Denver Broncos and earned Pro Bowl honors.
Brandon Lloyd continues to generously give back to Blue Springs High School and we congratulate him on this outstanding honor! ๐๐
