Michigan Commit Joe Bolden Impresses
I was very excited the day I heard that LB Joe Bolden of Colerain High School (OH) verbally committed to Michigan. I mean who couldn't use a 6'3 225 lb tackling machine that also has great awareness on the field and always seems to know where the ball is going. ESPN aired Colerain's first game of the season today against the 24th ranked team in the nation from Florida. I watched most of the game and came away very impressed with Bolden's leadership and all around athleticism on the field. I don't know his exact stats but he was in on a lot of tackles, threw a 35 yard pass on a fake punt (yes he punts for his team too), and narrowly missed a pick six that tipped out of his hands and into a fellow Colerain players who took it down to the 5 yard line. Colerain ended up winning the game and a lot was due to the great play of Joe Bolden. This kid has a great head on his shoulders and is definitely one to look for when he suits up in the maize and blue. I see a future star on defense.
