SI All-American Candidate DeAndre Boykins Highlights and Evaluation

Posted Jul 19, 2020
UNC Football commit DeAndre Boykins is a versatile recruit with potential all over the football field. He is a "tweener" from a size perspective, bigger than a safety but smaller than a linebacker. Perhaps a nickel back or a hybrid role would suit his skill set best. It could take some time to ascend to the position, but the versatile foundation fits in the current era. (Sports Illustrated)
