Also, I would like to thank the most high for giving me to ability to play this sport. After talking to my family and loved ones and lots of consideration . I will be committing to THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA!!! Go Gators

“PS: Gator Nation, I’m back. My bad for leaving, I want y’all to know I’m back for good!!!”

A standout at Creekside in Hampton, Georgia, Boireau is listed as measuring 6-5, 390 pounds. On the 247Sports Composite, Boireau is rated 3-stars, the No. 81 Peach State recruit, No. 82 defensive lineman and No. 726 prospect overall in the Class of 2024.
