Boynton comes to the Bombers from the now defunct Alliance of American Football where he was playing for the Memphis Express. He also spent time with the NFL’s Pittsburgh Steelers in 2018. Boynton also played four seasons for the Austin Peay State University Governors. In 43 games, he made 158 total tackles, 11 pass deflections, three forced fumbles, and one interception.
