Early Years

Boone was born in Little Rock, Arkansas. His family moved to the Atlanta area for his father's job. Boone moved again, this time to Louisville, KY for his Freshman Year of High School where he attended Iroquois High School for four years. As a freshman, Boone spent time playing offensive tackle, wide receiver, and defensive end for the football team. He would not play tight end during his high school career, due to the fact that Iroquois Academy's Spread Offense scheme did not feature the tight end position. Boone started his sophomore, junior, and senior year, winning a state championship.
