TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Freshman Slade Bolden has worn plenty of hats during his first season at Alabama. Listed as a receiver, he’s played in just four snaps while spending the majority of his time filling various spots on the Crimson Tide’s scout team.
The former four-star athlete is one of Alabama’s most versatile players. He worked at defensive back during the spring before moving back to receiver this fall. He can catch balls out of the backfield and could easily fill in as a scatback if needed.
Then there’s quarterback, the position Bolden primarily played in high school. Alabama’s used him there too, lining him up behind center before the game against The Citadel to mimic the Bulldogs’ rare triple-option attack.
This week, Bolden will once again take snaps on the scout team as he’s tasked with replicating Heisman winner Kyler Murray as No. 1 Alabama prepares for its Orange Bowl matchup against No. 4 Oklahoma.
