Boykin served as the head men's and women's tennis coach at Queens University of Charlotte from 2016 to 2022. His teams made a combined nine NCAA Division II championship appearances, won six South Atlantic Conference (SAC) tournament titles and earned four SAC regular season championships. In 2016 the men defeated Mount Olive in the NCAA Southeast Region #1.

Boykin was named the SAC men's coach of the year twice and the women's coach of the year in 2022. One of his women's doubles teams collected two Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) all-America selections. Boykin coached five SAC player of the year honorees and two freshman of the year picks, and 27 different players made the all-conference team at least once. The men's team was as high as seventh and the women's team reached as high as 10th in the ITA national team rankings – the best rankings in program history.

He guided the 2014-15 squad to 18 match wins, which was tied for the second-highest total in a season in team history and included a team-record 13 straight victories.
