Nick Bolton believes he’s got the best hands on Missouri’s defense, and he said as much after the win over West Virginia on Saturday.
He does have a claim to the throne, too, as the sophomore weakside linebacker now leads the team with two interceptions through the first two games of the season, which includes the pick-six against the Mountaineers that gave the Tigers their largest lead of the day.
As the backup for former linebacker Terez Hall in 2018, Bolton saw time in all 13 games and actually filled in for most of the last three quarters against Alabama when Hall was ejected for targeting.
