Columbus, OH – In a move that has sent shockwaves through the college football world, former Ohio State legend David Boston is making a sensational return to the Buckeyes—this time on the sidelines.
Sources close to the program have confirmed that Boston, one of the most electrifying wide receivers in Ohio State history, will be joining the coaching staff in a major leadership capacity. The official announcement is expected within the next 24 hours, but insiders suggest Boston will be named Wide Receivers Coach and Offensive Advisor, bringing both NFL experience and Buckeye legacy back to the program.
Fans will remember Boston for his unforgettable on-field performances during the late 1990s, most notably his game-winning touchdown against Michigan in 1997—a moment etched in Buckeye lore. His combination of size, speed, and swagger made him a first-round NFL draft pick and a standout during his professional career.
Now, after years of mentoring young athletes and studying the game from a coach’s perspective, Boston is ready to give back to the university that made him a star.
“This isn’t just a job for David,” said a source familiar with the hire. “It’s a full-circle moment. He wants to build something special in Columbus and help mold the next generation of greats.”
Current head coach Ryan Day welcomed the move, reportedly calling Boston’s return “a culture-defining moment” for the program. “He brings fire, wisdom, and a deep understanding of what it means to be a Buckeye. Our receivers are about to learn from one of the best to ever do it.”
Players are said to be buzzing with excitement over the news, with one junior wideout calling it “surreal” and “the kind of move that turns good players into great ones.”
From iconic touchdowns to NFL battles, David Boston has seen it all. Now, he’s back where it all began—ready to turn the Horseshoe into a proving ground once again.
Stay tuned for the official press conference, where Boston is expected to outline his vision and officially don the scarlet and gray headset. Buckeye Nation, get ready—one of your own has come home.
