    Good size. No idea if he is fast, touchiness, or about his ball skills. Coaches probably don’t know much at this point either with the shit season the hs kids had.

    He looks to have some potential. His highlights are as a sophomore. He's faster than everyone else out there, tall, can leap, and catches with his hands. Might be good. It just seems like an odd time to be stealing a local, virtually unknown kid from a shit tier school. Usually the trigger gets pulled on these guys much later in the process, but I guess everything related to recruiting is getting earlier and earlier.

    This is the brother of Eastern Washington receiver Andrew Boston who has been a 3rd team Big Sky receiver his last two seasons. I thought Andrew Boston would have been a solid Pac 12 player and I think that Denzel will be too. He looks to have good speed and good ball skills. A lot of his big play highlights are him catching contested jump balls down the field which is something we've lacked in our WR room for a while now.

    He does look a little stiff to me which isn't the end of the world. If he has good straight line speed and can catch jump balls than he'll be valuable to us after 2-3 seasons of development. He has a similar skill set to Ty Jones but I think Ty Jones is a little better athlete and is a better "run after the catch" guy but they both have great downfield ball skills.

    Ty Jones caught jump balls because he could never get separation consistently. He also dropped way more than he caught.
