Two-year starter. Boston got off to a quiet start, redshirting in 2022 and then sitting behind a trio of eventual NFL draft picks in 2023. From there he was the team's number one receiver two straight seasons. The oversized and physical pure hands' catcher provided different quarterbacks a security blanket and big play threat who made an impact at all three levels of the route tree. The big, inviting target created either a first down or touchdown on 77% of his receptions over the last two years and will provide the power forward to an NFL passing offense immediately. His game revolves around his size and soft hands and he proved he can run a full route tree and threaten any area of the defense at any time with a natural, ever-present advantage against tight coverage. NFL-ready skill set attached to a frame that can tower over defensive backs. Plays true to his size if not even a little bigger. Can body defensive backs near the end zone. A true threat inside the five-yard line because of his strength in contested situations. Shows burst when he sticks his foot in the ground and breaks out of his stem. Creates separation from both physicality and refined route techniques. Can move at different tempos and find green. A very quarterback-friendly target with very few drops and a presence in traffic. A load to take down and paves his way through cheap tackle attempts. Can get a little clunky and high on comeback routes. Long speed is not enough to get and stay over the top. Can get heavy after the catch. Does not have a lot of options as a ball carrier. A simple one cut-and-go type.
