Nicholas Bolton, 3* 2018 ILB, Frisco (Lone Star), TX (HE GONE)

5'11 230 that is fucking THICK. Crazy for a high schooler. It all looks like good weight too. He will look scary as fuck after 2 years with Socha.

Yeah he's probably already at his end weight, but you have to think he'll become way more athletic at that weight.

It is all about composition at this point. Hopefully he gets leaner and stays 230
 
Watched his hudl for the first time just now. I don't see anything not to like. He's strong as fuck, hard to juke because he breaks down properly, hits hard and finishes his tackles. He doesn't look slow in the open for a pretty burly MLB and he saves a gear for when he needs it.

I know he's lacking height but id put his ceiling somewhere around Donald Butler. That's pretty good for those of you who stopped watching out of disgust in 2009 or sooner.

Donald Butler would start or be in the rotation for almost any Husky team. Wasted talent like so many back then

Yeah Butler was really good by the end. He was one my favorites.

Butler and Mason Foster were some of the best LBs we've ever had. Donald Butler was amazing. I shudder to think what he would've looked like under Pete.
 
Yes, Socha's secret to his success is that his cum is laced with steroids and the best way for him to inject it into the players is directly in their anus where it can be absorbed most effectively. As you can see the Bowman brother's have no shame and are in Socha's office twice a week with the door locked. They'll do whatever it takes to get to the league.

Derek, look what you've created!
 
I hate to be a downer (meh, actually i don't), but I don't think he is getting any taller. Mom is short and he already has one of those early-matured bodies. He looked like a man at age 15.

I hope he can run.
 
This kid is 17. Good chance he grows an inch or two before he's slated to play. You can't teach what's in between the ears which is why Petersen loves him. Great player to get in the program and let him develop. Plus another Texas player, which I love going forward. The more we bring up to Seattle the better.

Kids from poor backgrounds stop growing earlier, middle class and up kids grow a bit later (on average, obviously). Not quite sure where Bolton fits. Looks like he might be the ladder rather than the former, but without any specific information it's hard to tell.

He came up to visit with both his folks and they weren't midgets. I saw the photo on twitter but haven't been able to find it. Frisco is also a nice suburban area of Dallas. It's not poor. Second fastest growing of the state. He's definitely a healthy looking dude. Feel like kids from
area are more open to leaving the state than other regions (east Texas).

He's got room to grow imo

Agreed he probably won't grow but he is 5'11 and we are talking like he is 5'6.
 
He looks like he'll be one of those "headhunters" Mosster used to squirt eggs about. I'm fine with him.
 
He's slow, but he's quick and accelerates well and closes well. And he's got power in them thurr leggggs.

He's kinda a "poor man's Rueben Foster" ... but with less top end speed and height ...

A few more years of "physical development" and we could see some really good ILB play from this guy ...
 
so.......
we apparently have backed off.
I'm gonna take this as good news, but really unusual with this staff

What? that is so unlike Pete. Unless Bolton decided to take some visits.

apparently that was not the reason. nor was grades. at least according to Bolton. very bizarre
 
I really wonder, not because I think all that highly of Bolton, but because I've never seen this staff do that.

it's either.
1. more going on that's not being reported.
2. Pete's philosophy is changing
