Over the course of three seasons from 2024 to 2026, Botsio claimed three consecutive NCAA Division II 100-metre championships, cementing his place among the most accomplished sprinters of his era. In addition to his individual championships, Botsio also secured three consecutive NCAA Division II outdoor 4×100m relays championships during the same period.

From there, he proceeded to win the outdoor 100m championship in 2024, followed by successful defenses of his title in 2025 and 2026. His success extended beyond individual events, with Botsio also being a member of West Texas A&M's successful 4×100m relay team, helping the Buffaloes claim three consecutive NCAA Division II national championships in this event from 2023 to 2025. Botsio's achievements are not limited to the track, as he has also represented Ghana in international competitions, including the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and the 2024 African Championships. His collegiate journey has resulted in seven NCAA Division II national championships, including four individual titles and three relay titles. In addition to his athletic accomplishments, Botsio excelled academically at West Texas A&M, earning recognition as the NCAA Division II Outdoor Track & Field Scholar Athlete of the Year in 2025 and multiple All-America honors. His ability to consistently perform at the highest level across multiple years, while also excelling academically and representing his country internationally, solidifies Botsio's legacy as one of the most notable sprinters in NCAA Division II history.",
