In a move that has stunned the college football world, former Ohio State Buckeyes star David Boston is set to return to his alma mater in a leading coaching role. An official announcement is expected imminently, sources close to the program confirm.
Boston, one of the most electrifying wide receivers in Ohio State history, played for the Buckeyes from 1996 to 1998. He was instrumental in the team’s success, amassing over 2,800 receiving yards and 34 touchdowns during his collegiate career. His performance in the 1997 Rose Bowl, where he caught the game-winning touchdown against Arizona State, remains one of the most iconic moments in Buckeyes history.
After being drafted eighth overall by the Arizona Cardinals in the 1999 NFL Draft, Boston had a promising professional career, including a Pro Bowl season in 2001. Now, after years away from the limelight, he is making a return to Columbus—this time on the sidelines.
While details of his exact role remain undisclosed, sources suggest he will take on a leadership position within the coaching staff, potentially working with wide receivers or as an offensive strategist. His experience as a dynamic playmaker at both the college and professional levels makes him a valuable addition to Ryan Day’s staff.
The Buckeyes are coming off a strong but ultimately frustrating season, and Boston’s arrival could provide a fresh spark as the team looks to reclaim its dominance in the Big Ten and beyond. Fans are already buzzing with excitement on social media, eager to see how the former Buckeye great can impact the program.
With an official announcement expected soon, Ohio State supporters won’t have to wait long to see how Boston’s homecoming will unfold.
