“I would like to thank Coach Ferentz and the entire coaching staff, as I’ve grown and learned a lot – it has truly been a blessing to be a Hawkeye. Special thanks to Coach Copeland for believing in me and pushing me to be the best in all aspects of my life. And to Kammy, the doctors and the best training staff – thank you for all you have done for me, I will never forget it. Lastly, I would like to thank my teammates, the fans and the Children’s Hospital for making these past two years so special. With that being said and prayerful consideration, I’ve decided to enter the transfer portal with four years of eligibility remaining. I’m excited to take this leap of faith into this new chapter,” Bostick said via his social media announcement.
Coming out of high school, Bostick was a three-star recruit, the No. 89 WR, and the No. 11 recruit from Illinois per 247Sports Composite rankings. Bostick’s other offers out of high school included Illinois, Louisville, Air Force, Army, Navy, six MAC schools, Cincinatti, and Pittsburgh to name a few.
