As a college coach, Boyle missed out on recruiting Knight to Davidson College because Knight would walk-on at George Mason University after going unrecruited out of high school. LemonAid officially launched its mobile applications in August 2015 to assist overlooked athletes, colleges, and sports with athletic recruiting. The company is headquartered in Ashburn, VA.
