Impact Boardingham is a Florida transfer with at least some adequate potential to be an excellent contributor. Both 2023 and 2024 saw him log triple-digit receiving yards and multiple touchdowns, so they are to be the minimum standard Bowling Green may expect from him in 2025.

Back at it in practice Boardingham (undisclosed) is good to go for fall practice, Michael Burwell of the Toledo Blade reports.

He and Texas Southern transfer Jyrin Johnson are set to compete for tight end reps this fall, aiming to claim the starting spot vacated by NFL-bound Harold Fannin. That said, there's also a new coaching regime at Bowling Green, so it remains to be seen how the tight ends will be utilized in the new system.

Boardingham proved to be one of the FBS' best tight ends during 2023, a year in which he logged 26 receptions for 289 yards and four touchdowns. All that was during his first year in the FBS, so expectations are high for him in 2024 now that he has a year of in-game experience under his belt.
