On February 6, 2026, Jonesboro-Hodge High School (JHHS) senior Landon Boston made it official that he will continue his football playing career at Ottawa University.

The signing was witnessed by mother Garica Boston, grandmother Felicia Boston, JHHS Athletic Director and Head Football Coach Terrance Blankenship, family, teammates, and friends in a signing ceremony that took place in the JHHS Library. 

Located in Ottawa, Kansas, the private Baptist University competes in intercollegiate varsity athletics as part of the NAIA and Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference.

The 5’10”, 195-pound RB/DB goes to Ottawa after being an integral part of the Tigers’ quarterfinal run in the Division IV playoffs. After recovering from a hamstring injury early in the year that sidelined him for 5 games, Boston returned to compile 675 yards rushing and 5 touchdowns on just 75 carries.

While also being a tremendous locker room leader, Boston maintained a 3.4 GPA, exhibiting what it means to be a complete student athlete.
