He also contributed 57 tackles, including four tackles for loss and an interception return for a 52-yard touchdown in an upset win at Alabama A&M. He amassed 77 yards on interception returns averaging 12.83 yards per pick. In addition, he recorded one punt return for 30 yards. Boykin was named SWAC Newcomer of the Week after finishing with seven tackles (5 solo), 1.5 tackles for loss, an interception and a pair of pass breakups to close the Delta Devils' season in a 19-7 loss to Alabama State.
