The Charlotte native was slightly better in SEC play, averaging seven points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. Boswell played well in the NCAA Tournament.

Boswell’s biggest strength was its ability to do multiple things. He is a good defender and his improvement handling the basketball over the course of the season was big for Tennessee in the NCAA Tournament.

But with Tennessee looking to add more shooting to its roster next season, it made Boswell’s role less certain. While he shot a strong 38% from three-point range, Boswell made just 30 from three-point attempts over the course of the season.

NC State could be a likely landing spot for Boswell. New Wolfpack head coach Justin Gainey was Boswell’s lead recruiter to Tennessee. Former Tennessee Assistant Director of Player Development Riley Collins was crucial to Boswell’s development at Tennessee and is following Gainey to NC State as an assistant coach.
