DENVER — By a strict academic calendar, former Snow College offensive lineman Garett Bolles should be going into his second season with the University of Utah, preparing for the Utes’ season opener Thursday.
But life comes at you fast.
After flourishing in his lone season on the offensive line, earning all-Pac 12 honors and playing 891 snaps in 13 starts for the Utes, Bolles declared for the NFL draft last April — and was selected in the first round by the Denver Broncos.
Now the Lehi native has found a home just over an hour away from where he served his two-year mission for the LDS Church in Colorado Springs, starting on the offensive line through three games of the NFL preseason.
