High school career

[edit]

He was a first-team all-state and 4A-1 all-region first team selection as a senior.[1] Floyd had expected to play NCAA Division I basketball following high school, but his recruitment slowed down after he broke his wrist in his senior season.[2] On April 30, 2015, he signed his National Letter of Intent to play NCAA Division II basketball for Albany State.[3] Floyd also played baseball in high school.[4]

In his sophomore season, he averaged 9.3 points and 2.7 assists per game.[3] As a junior, Floyd averaged 21.7 points, 2.3 assists and two rebounds per game and was unanimously selected as Conference Carolinas Player of the Year.[5] He led his team to the regular season conference title.[6] Floyd fractured his left ankle in his only game in the following season and was granted a medical redshirt.[3]

As a senior, Floyd averaged a Division II-high 31.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game for King. Floyd set the school single-game scoring record with 43 points in a win over Mount Olive.[7] He eclipsed his own record by scoring a career-high 47 points in a February 20, 2020 win over Erskine.[8] On March 3, 2020, he became King's all-time leading scorer, surpassing Mark Dockery.[9] Floyd was named Ron Lenz National Player of the Year, as well as Conference Carolinas Player of the Year for his second time.[10] He earned Division II All-American honors from the National Association of Basketball Coaches.[11]
