Safety Bubba Bolden told Joe Zagacki on Hurricane Hotline on WQAM this week that he likes head coach Manny Diaz taking over play-calling on defense for the 2021 season and being able to pick the brain of Chief of Staff Ed Reed. Bolden is returning for his third season in the Miami football program in 2021.

Bolden led Miami with 74 tackles, had 6.5 tackles for loss, one sack and three pass breakups in 2020. One of the leaders of a defense that returns nine starters, Bolden has the potential for at least an All-ACC season in 2021 and potentially challenge to be an All-American.
