Bolden\u2019s mom: He\u2019d be content as backup<\/a> – Nittany Extra, Reading Eagle<\/em>
\nA bit of bombshell came out last night in the link above — Rob Bolden<\/strong>‘s mother said he would be okay with being a backup right now. Now, this is not from Bolden himself, but his mother is as good a source as any on what he’s thinking.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that he would be content in a backup role,\u201d Bolden\u2019s mother, Tonia Williams, said. \u201cI just always tell him to go out there and do his best and to look at the plays more often and you know, there\u2019s always room for improvement.\u201d<\/p>\n

Williams said that her son is 19 years old and continuing to grow as both a player and as a person. She said sometimes it\u2019s \u201ctough to tell\u201d if he\u2019s made progress from last year to this year, but the one thing she does know is that he\u2019s doing the best he can to improve.<\/p>\n

Handling the situation as a starter and backup, while splitting repetitions and rotating by quarters and by series, hasn\u2019t worn on her son too much, Williams said. When she talks with Bolden, she said he remains upbeat and optimistic, though she said she\u2019s unsure what his future holds.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now you can take this all with a grain of salt and I almost expect a denial to be issued by his mother today. <\/p>\n

This also makes the theory that Bolden’s father was more behind the transfer<\/a> drama<\/a> than the quarterback seem more likely. Bolden’s mother did not want him leaving Penn State in the first place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
