Texas Star WR Departs Team With 4-Word Message

With the move, Bolden joins a hoard of other Longhorns players who have departed to the NFL Draft following Texas' 28-14 loss in the Cotton Bowl to the Ohio State Buckeyes, which eliminated the team from the College Football Playoff.

The wideout spent a total one season on the field at Texas, spending the first three years of his career at Oregon State. Bolden reeled in 103 receptions for 1,343 yards and 10 touchdowns. He also did some work in the ground game, putting together 199 rushing yards and five touchdowns in that category.

Bolden finished out the final season with 23 catches for 267 yards with three total touchdowns.  One of his touchdowns saw him sprint about 30 yards down the field to recover a fumble in the end zone against Oklahoma, while another saw him return a punt for a score in the Peach Bowl against Arizona State.

He had one reception for 24 yards in the Cotton Bowl.

He is largely projected to be a late-round selection, up against a lot of competition in a deep class of wide receivers. It will be interesting to see where he lands and if he ends up being taken off the board or becomes a priority-free agent when the event begins in April.
