Transferring to Jackson State from Florida State, Bolden made an impact for the Tigers during the 2021 season as a kick returner.
He returned 16 kicks for 591 yards and scored two touchdowns on his way to being named to the FCS All-American team.
The 2022 season gave Bolden an opportunity to shine on the defensive end. He recorded 44 total tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, seven pass breakups, and a fumble recovery.
