The frame gets your attention first, because at 6’3″ and 209 pounds Boston carries himself across the field with the kind of physical presence that forces defensive coordinators to have an answer. What keeps the attention is the discovery that the frame is not doing all the work. There is more fluidity to his movement, more precision in his transitions and more reliability in his hands than the size alone would predict, and that combination is what makes this evaluation genuinely interesting.

The most surprising quality in his profile is how naturally he moves for a receiver of his dimensions. His ability to decelerate off vertical stems and pivot laterally without losing balance is impressive for any receiver, but for one built the way he is, it is a meaningful separation tool that many larger prospects simply do not possess. His jab step on slants generates early leverage quickly, and when that is combined with his frame and consistent hands, he becomes a reliable option across the middle of the field against coverage that does not want to engage his size at the catch point.

His ball skills are a consistent strength across the tape. Boston catches cleanly and confidently, rarely letting the ball get into his body, and his tracking ability downfield is notable; he is comfortable looking late, adjusting to the ball at its highest point and converting contested situations even when separation is incomplete. That reliability extends to underneath work as well, where he executes quick game concepts consistently and functions as a dependable option on the short-to-intermediate routes that keep drives alive. I noticed across the Ohio State film that defenses adjusted their structure to account for him crossing the middle, which created space for Washington’s other options adjacent to him.

There is also a release flash worth noting. Against press, he showed the capacity to use a bubble release that disrupts early jam attempts and gets him into his route cleanly. It is not a complete package yet, but the foundation is there. As a blocker, he understands positioning, engages willingly and shows a grasp of how to use his frame to create leverage, even if the execution of specific aiming points can break down against more technical defenders.

The separation question against man coverage is the one that shapes his projection most directly. Despite his size, I noticed he does not consistently impose himself through routes, and against softer man coverage at the next level, his ability to separate may be limited by a lack of the suddenness and top-end burst that allow boundary receivers to win at the top of routes without the benefit of scheme. His speed is functional and more than adequate against zone, but it does not consistently translate into clear vertical wins against disciplined man defenders.

His blocking, while willing, lacks the refinement that would make it a genuine asset. He struggles with aiming points and can be out-leveraged by more technically sound defenders, which reduces his effectiveness in situations where receivers are asked to seal the edge. There is also an element of untapped potential in his overall profile; he has operated from multiple alignments, including the backfield, but his impact is most reliable when he is working within defined route structures rather than being asked to create independently. The ceiling depends on whether the technical shortcomings develop into strengths or simply remain manageable limitations.
