Landon Boston is a 5’10”, 195-pound RB out of Jonesboro Hodge HS in Jonesboro, LA. The recent Ottawa College commit battled a hamstring injury that had sidelined him for 5 games; however, when he returned, he made the absolute most of it. In just 6 games, he had 675 yards and 5 touchdowns on just 75 carries. It is worth mentioning that this is only his first year playing running back full-time; he was originally a linebacker, where he earned second-team all-state as a sophomore and then backed that up with a strong junior season, totaling 89 tackles. All of this while maintaining a 3.4 GPA, so a baller who truly embodies what it means to be a student athlete.
