Kofi Boateng’s high school coach believes the Arkansas Razorbacks are getting one of the country’s most competitive players.
“He was a phenomenal player,” Arlington (Texas) Lamar Coach Laban Delay said of Boateng. “If he’s battling up against two defenders, Kofi is going to come down with the ball.”
Boateng came down with plenty of footballs during the past three seasons as a wide receiver at Lamar.
Boateng, 6-1, 183 pounds, caught 27 touchdown passes, including 11 in 2015. He finished with 46 receptions for 782 yards as a senior, earning a first-team spot on the All-District 4-6A team.
Experts at ESPN.com, Rivals and Scout ranked Boateng as a three-star recruit.
Boateng said Arkansas’ family atmosphere appealed to him.
“Once I got down there and I met all of the players, that’s a place where I wanted to be at,” said Boateng, who was ranked as No. 96 wide receiver in the Class of 2016 by ESPN.com. “The program is headed in the right direction.”
