As a true freshman at Notre Dame, Floyd played in 11 of Notre Dame's 13 games on the year, only missing the final two games of the regular season (Syracuse and USC) due to an injury sustained early against Navy.
He recorded seven touchdown receptions on the year, breaking the record for an Irish freshman (previously held by teammate Duval Kamara's four touchdowns in 2007), while catching 48 balls to break another Notre Dame freshman record in receptions (Kamara had 32 in 2007).
His 719 receiving yards set the mark for Notre Dame first-year players (Tony Hunter had 690 in 1979).
