Early years
Gilyard attended Flagler Palm Coast High School, where he was a first-team Class 5A all-state selection. He capped his career with over 2,500 yards and 30 touchdowns and was named MVP of the Florida Coast All-Star Game.
Considered only a two-star recruit by Rivals.com, Gilyard was not ranked among the nation's best wide receiver prospects.[2] He committed to Cincinnati on February 2, 2005.
College career
Gilyard played cornerback as a freshman in 2005. He finished the season with seven tackles. As a sophomore in 2006 he was redshirted due to academic reasons.
