Slade Bolden has the tools to be highly effective in Alabama’s offense

Two weeks ago, Steve Sarkisian was ready to coach Alabama against Georgia.

He did not want his chance to come at the expense of Nick Saban’s health, but one must be prepared regardless. Three negative PCR tests for Coronavirus led to Saban coaching the game; however, it was good to see Sarkisian be on standby.

Slade Bolden had been waiting on an opportunity since his arrival in 2018.

He came in the same signing class as Jaylen Waddle and Xavier Williams. A native of West Monroe, La., Bolden was the best pure athletes in the recruiting cycle.
