Scouting report

Boston is a former three-star receiver from Puyallup, Washington, who stayed close to home by committing to the Huskies. For a bigger receiver, he moves exceptionally well, giving him success both on the outside and in occasional big-slot alignments. He is quick with a variety of releases against press coverage and shows impressive route fluidity for his size — including multi-cut routes and double moves.

With his frame comes the traits teams want to see. Boston boasts a large catch radius that he maximizes with strong hands and excellent hand-eye coordination. He also brings a yards-after-catch mentality and the ability to generate explosive plays.

As a blocker, Boston has the size and strength to be reliable, though his misses typically come when he lunges rather than staying balanced. He is noticeably more comfortable against single or man coverage, where he has posted elite receiving grades. Against zone, however, he is less natural at settling into soft spots and finding space.

His production fluctuated at times in 2024 and 2025, but much of that can be attributed to circumstances outside his control. Washington lacked other consistent receiving threats, allowing defenses to focus heavily on Boston and frequently send extra coverage his way.

Strengths

• Not slow out of his stance and eats up cushion quickly for a big man

• Decent sharpness to the cuts in his routes

• Good route understanding and will even pull some double moves

• Very reliable hands with heavy volume in 2024 and 2025

• Maximizes a big catch radius with strong hands and good hand-eye coordination

• Has a yards-after-catch mentality

• Frame and strength to be a reliable blocker

Weaknesses

• More comfortable and confident winning versus single or man coverage than settling in soft spots versus zone

• When he loses as a blocker, it’s because he’s lunging

• Production tailed off when defenses started to key in on him in 2024

Bottom line

Boston is a smooth-moving “X” receiver with the size and skill set to develop into a starting outside receiver at the next level. He is less comfortable and productive against zone coverage, but in single-coverage situations, he is often the player to bet on thanks to his elite hand strength.
