HIGHLIGHTS

QUOTES

On Himself: "The linebacker is the quarterback of the defense. I think I’m a great leader and communicator. My voice is heard on the field and I play smart. I’m also a big hitter and when I make contact I drop and go through people. I can also move well sideline-to-sideline. My game is not perfect and I’m always trying to do things better and get better at everything.”

ANALYSIS

Sean O’Connell, UMGoBlog.com: "Bolden makes it clear that he is the leader of his defense. He has a great motor and instincts and is a very good tackler. He is also a pretty polished player as a high schooler, which is somewhat rare. Nearly 6’3" Bolden has a solid frame on which to build as well and should make a terrific MIKE linebaker. Great get for Michigan."
