Bolden returned to his alma mater this past spring as an offensive quality control coach, after working the two previous seasons as a wide receiver graduate assistant at Arkansas. He worked directly with that position group as well as assisted with film breakdown and scouting reports on all opponents to go along with additional recruiting duties.

Prior to his stint at Arkansas, Bolden worked a year at Shorter University in Rome, Ga., as an assistant coach in 2017, overseeing the wide receivers as well as coordinating and coaching the returners on special teams, where he mentored first-team All-Gulf South selection Lewis Hayes.

Bolden worked as an assistant coach at Pearl River Community College for the 2015 and 2016 seasons, working as wide receivers coach, but also had the role of offensive recruiting coordinator and oversaw football program recruiting operation for prospect identification, evaluation, marketing and customer service.

His coaching career started in 2014 as an assistant coach at Ocean Springs High School, where he was responsible for the development of the wide receivers both on and off the field. The school went 11-2 that season and won the Class 6A-Region 4 district championship.

The 2011 Southern Miss graduate played his final two seasons of collegiate football for the Golden Eagles (2010-11), and caught 104 passes for 1,393 yards and 13 career touchdown receptions. His senior season saw the team win a school-record 12 games, win a Conference USA title and collect a Hawai’i Bowl victory.
