No rush for Bostwick
Port St. Lucie (Fla.) St. Lucie West Centennial four-star defensive lineman Jaynard Bostwick believes his future could be on the inside or outside portion of the defensive front in college. The 6-foot-4, 291-pounder says he is being recruited by schools as both a strongside defensive end and a defensive tackle.
"Schools are recruiting me for both," Bostwick said. "I prefer defensive end over defensive tackle."

"I like the program in general," Bostwick said. "I also like the school. I also like their equipment, their colors, and their jerseys."
