Scouting Report: Strengths
- Savvy using his hands to get to the ball without drawing flags. Willing tackler and high-effort leader.
- Can deliver the big hit and isn't afraid to jump inside to slow the ball.
- Flashes good ball skills. Boykin has the fluidity and change-of-direction ability to mirror quicker receivers underneath.
- Stays low in his backpedal and shows the click-and-close ability to break up plays in front of him. Boykin can move well laterally and shows excellent instincts when looking into the backfield in zone coverage.
- Gives great effort in run support, sticking his nose in as a tackler, and should be able to contribute as a special teamer covering kicks.
- Good hustle player who puts himself in the action when he's not directly involved. Knows how to use his height and vertical leap.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Despite his size, he’s not an overly physical tackler. Boykin might have to add some weight at the next level in order to become more physical.
- Like a lot of collegiate corners, Boykin has a tendency to get grabby, something that will have to be coached out of him.
- Boykin runs well, but he doesn’t have elite recovery speed.
