Denzel Boston has gotten a ton of attention for the way that he’s helped transform the Washington Huskies passing attack at various points throughout the season. And Boston deserves a ton of credit for that. But it’s worth pointing out that there are two Washington Huskies who are dominating defensive backs on a regular basis.

Because I, for one, don’t talk anywhere near enough about the success that Giles Jackson is having this year. Jackson has been incredible and he’s thriving this year. When it comes to total receiving yards, he isn’t far off from Boston’s accomplishments. 

Also, worth pointing out that he and Boston are one of two sets of players from the same school to make it into the top 10 wide receivers in terms of overall receiving yards in the Big Ten heading into the 10th week of this season. The other duo? Ohio State Buckeyes stars Jeremiah Smith and Emeka Egbuka.

That’s solid company to be in, folks. Jackson and Boston have been thrilling to watch and they make such a fun duo. It’s got to be great to be Will Rogers and having two solid and dynamic pass catching options like that. 

Top 10 Big Ten wide receivers by receiving yards entering week 10

Let’s go over the best wide receivers in the Big Ten through the first nine weeks of the season, folks. And again, you’re going to see two Washington Huskies on this list. 

Top Big Ten Receivers by Yards Per Game:

  1. Tai Felton - Maryland Terrapins - 907 yards 
  2. Tez Johnson - Oregon Ducks - 638 yards 
  3. Jeremiah Smith - Ohio State Buckeyes - 623 yards 
  4. Elijah Sarratt - Indiana Hoosiers - 590 yards 
  5. Denzel Boston - Washington Huskies -583 yards 
  6. Daniel Jackson - Minnesota Golden Gophers - 568 yards 
  7. Tyler Warren - Penn State Nittany Lions - 559 yards 
  8. Giles Jackson - Washington Huskies - 553 yards 
  9. Emeka Egbuka - Ohio State Buckeyes - 546 yards 
  10. Pat Bryant - Illinois Fighting Illini - 510 yards

Jackson has shown that he can compete in the Big Ten. He’s doing really well for himself. And it is truly a shame that he’s a senior because it would be so much fun to see him continue to develop in this offense and to help elevate the Huskies going forward.
