Washington Star WR Denzel Boston Declares for 2026 NFL Draft

Scouts view the 6-foot-3 receiver as a potential first-round pick after a 13-touchdown season.

Overview

  • Denzel Boston announced his decision on Dec. 24 via his verified Twitter account, forgoing his final year of eligibility.
  • Boston led Washington in 2025 with 62 receptions for 880 yards and 13 total touchdowns.
  • Evaluators cite his 6-foot-3, 210-pound frame and short-area quickness as traits that translate to outside receiver and jumbo slot roles.
  • A late-season ankle issue cut his snaps by roughly 150, yet he added a punt-return touchdown and even threw a touchdown pass.
  • His departure deepens Washington’s roster turnover as the Huskies replace starters following other moves such as Raiden Vines-Bright entering the transfer portal.
