10/29/20 - WR Slade Bolden, rJr/2022, Alabama

"Slade's really quick. A lot of guys like Slade become very effective slot kind of players because they're quick out of a break," UA coach Nick Saban said. "They've got good initial quickness, really good hands, very smart and heady in terms of their instincts and their ability to make quick decisions. That's something that fit well for him. I know he played quarterback, he played all over the place in high school. But he's done a good job. He did a good job in the game, and he's one the guys that I was referring to when I said a lot of the guys had to step up." The early returns on that decision are not enough to act on - he had four catches last year, spending most of his time as a Wildcat quarterback - and had no receptions entering the Tennessee game. His six catches for 94 yards against the Volunteers began to validate the decision.

"That's where he belongs. He's a tough matchup for a safety, he's so quick," Hunt said. Few, if any, are able to do exactly what Waddle did: double as the best kick returner in the country and the SEC's leading receiver. Saban is not placing expectations on Bolden relative to what Waddle did before him, but such expectations may not bother him. "I hate what happened to Waddle, but Slade Bolden is going to fill in fine for Alabama," Hunt said. "They're going to fall in love with Slade Bolden: his charisma, personality and work ethic, it's unmatched." - Montgomery Advertiser
