Bolden was listed as an ATH when he was recruited and was a 3-Star recruit.
Don’t let that 3-Star ranking fool you, Bolden is an athlete in every sense of the word. This guy was used as a wide out, quarterback and running back during his time in high school. One thing that jumps out about him is his desire to win and that is why he could be a huge surprise for The Crimson Tide.
Bolden was named the Gatorade Player Of The Year for the state of Louisiana as he rushed and passed for over 2000 yards. He also racked up several other accolades during his outstanding senior season.
Nick Saban has been known to experiment with players and Bolden could be one of his best experiments as he has experience playing all over the field. Bolden has now enrolled into the University of Alabama and will suit up for A-Day. He has been seen this Spring working with the defensive back, proving Saban will try to move this guy around to find his perfect fit.
