Dantonio on Boateng: "Jeslord is a very athletic and explosive player. We offered him a scholarship last year, early in the process, as a junior. He's an active football player who has shown the ability to accelerate off the edge, and he has a big upside because of his length. He reminds me a little bit of (former Spartan linebacker) Taiwan Jones."
