Does Slade Bolden become Alabama’s No. 3 option at wide receiver?

Alabama has not had a “do everything” player since Blake Sims; however, it found one last season in Slade Bolden.

Despite his three-star rating from West Monroe (La.) High School, he came in the Crimson Tide’s 2018 signing class as a pure athlete and he is exciting to watch. The 5-foot-11, 191-pounder enters his third year in the program and though the roster is filled with wide receivers, Bolden wants to be the No. 3 target. With the combination of Tua Tagovailoa and Mac Jones at quarterback in 2019, the 2017 Gatorade Player of the Year for the state of Louisiana found different ways to be impactful.
