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.
He didn’t catch very many jump balls. Cuntslice is right. Jones sucked.

I remember the recruitment of Jones and the constant knock by guys like Biggins was that for all his height and strength he just wasn't a very good football player. If he faced a db with any talent at all, he'd get shut down. Of course the retort was "who the fuck cares? It's high school football. Have you seen his vert and shuttle time numbers?"

He made like one really good back shoulder leaping catch @ UCLA in 2018 and that was it

Dropped a touchdown that game also. As always. He was not good. His catches many times were acrobatic because he rarely separated. .
