"Jehyve joining our staff is welcome addition," Scott said. "His experiences as a player, a very good college career and playing at the professional level, will be extremely helpful in our team's development and players individually."
Floyd has played and started for several top European competitions, including EuroLeague, EuroCup and Champions League. In 2019-20, led the Greek Basket League in blocked shots and was part of the Greek Super Cup winners in 2020 and 2021.

A 2019 graduate of Holy Cross, Floyd had a standout basketball career with the Crusaders, where he played for current Air Force head coach Joe Scott and associate head coach Dave Metzendorf. He is a two-time Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year (2018 & 2019) and also a two-time Holy Cross Male Athlete of the Year (2018 & 2019).

Cooney Memorial Award, given to the student-athlete who performed beyond all expectations with courage, loyalty and dedication, and also the Joseph J. Reilly Award, given to a fourth-year student who exemplifies the ideals of multiculturalism.
In addition to his time on the court, Floyd was just as active off it, serving across various organizations during his time at Holy Cross. He was the co-founder for Men of Color Athletes (MOCA), and served as a student assistant with the Crusader Athletic Fund, with a role in building relationships with alumni.
