Floyd threw out 23 would-be base stealers and compiled a .985 fielding percentage over that same span. He made 84 appearances with 76 starts in his career, helping the Railsplitters combine for 53 wins in two seasons.

That same season, he was recognized as both the North District and Region 24 Catcher of the Year.

"Although Kyle is new to college coaching, he has already made an impact on our program on the recruiting trail and on the field. As a player for me the last two years, Kyle was always very intelligent and a hard worker," Sziksai said upon Floyd’s addition to the staff. "I think those things translate into coaching and I am confident he will make a great addition to our staff."
