Landon Boston, who helped lead Jonesboro-Hodge High School into the LHSAA Division IV playoff quarterfinals, will continue his gridiron career at Ottawa University. The senior running back / defensive back posted the announcement on his Facebook page on Saturday, December 6th.

Located in Ottawa, Kansas, the private Baptist University competes in intercollegiate varsity athletics as part of the NAIA and Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference, where they finished with a 6-5 overall record and a 4-1 conference mark in 2025. 

“After a lot of thought and prayers, I’m proud to announce that I plan on continuing my football career at Ottawa University. I want to thank my coaches and family for pushing me and helping me grow into the player and person I am today. Their guidance and support meant everything throughout my journey, and I am excited for what the next chapter brings.” – Landon Boston

Included was a career-best 193-yard, 2-touchdown effort against Vinton in the postseason.
