Freshman split end Bolton
facing tough competition
by Frank L. Christlieb
Sports Editor
Jeff Bolton relied on divine
guidance in making his decision
to attend Texas A&M Universi
ty. In fact, he says he considers
the Lord and his parents to be
the most important parts of his
life.
While trying to decide
whether to attend UCLA, Texas
A&M, Nebraska, SMU or LSU,
the freshman split end from
South Garland High School
didn’t know which route to take.
Bolton says he allowed the Lord
to pilot him in the right direc
tion.
“If I didn’t have a relationship
with Christ, I wouldn’t be at this
university,” Bolton said after
finishing his first week of foot
ball workouts with the full Aggie
football squad. “I was in a state
of confusion about where to go.
Everybody — my parents, pas
tor and friends were all praying
with me to make the right deci
sion.
“One day, it just all transpired
and there it was before me on a
platter.”
And Bolton believes he’s
made the correct choice.
With veteran receivers Don
Jones, Jimmy Teal and Jimmie
Williams, as well as Aggie track
star Rod Richardson and trans
fer Tommy Sugg, the 6-2, 170-
pound Bolton has more com
petition than he can handle.
Add to that the fact that tight
end Mark Lewis, tailback John
ny Hector and fullback Earnest
Jackson will catch their share of
passes in Jackie Sherrill’s new
offense, and freshmen like Bol
ton really have their work cut
out for them in trying to make
the team.
Bolton, along with Shea Wal
ker, Jeff Nelson and Tony Sla
ton, are the four freshman re
ceivers who find themselves in a
the toughest, most competitive
situation of their lives. But Bol
ton said he knows it’s only a mat
ter of time before he makes a
contribution to Sherrill and the
Aggies.

the team’s strongest areas.
“Hopkins is one of those play
ers who has a knack for being
exactly where he’s supposed to
be,” Collins said. “It seems like
good things happen around
him. In our defensive scheme of
things, the strong safety has to
be a great athlete, and Hopkins
really is.”

during freshman workouts,”
Bolton said. “I haven’t done well
enough to write home about. I
think I’m going to get better. As
of now, I haven’t panned out
enough.
“As of today, I don’t know the
system well enough to go out
there and start. When we get to
the Boston College game, I’ll
know more about what I’m
doing. But right now, I’m not
big enough and I’m not ready.”
Bolton realizes that not mak
ing the squad could mean
spending a year as a redshirt
player, so he’s trying his hardest
to make the squad.
“I’d like to go ahead and play
this year,” he said, “even if it’s
just on the scout team. I want to
get to the Cotton Bowl, too, even
if it takes playing scout team.”
Bolton, the only member of
his family to attend a major col
lege, didn’t know much about
the University before making
his decision to come here. Aggie
receiver coach Jerry Pettibone,
whom Sherrill hired away from
Nebraska, had recruited Bolton
for the Cornhuskers.
“But I lost interst in Nebraska
because they didn’t pass much,”
Bolton said. “I got interested in
UCLA and then when Coach
Sherrill came here, I got much
more interested in A&M.”
Within a week, Pettibone be
came an Aggie coach, and Bol
ton found out “through the
grapevine,” he says. Pettibone
called him the night he was
hired, and that was when Bolton
decided on Texas A&M.
Since coming to Texas A&M
for the second summer session
of classes, Bolton says, he’s
learned a great deal about his
teammates and the school.
Those upperclassman receivers
he’s competing against have
been sources of direction as well,
Bolton said.
“They’ve been really nice to
me,” he said. “Sometimes you’re
in a situation where you don’t
want to bug the coach by asking
him about something you don’t

But more than anything, Bol
ton puts his trust in the Lord for
inspiration and guidance.
“My relationship with Christ
is so important to me,” he said.
“I’ve gained a lot of my strength
from the Bible and from study
ing it.”
Bolton said he’s pleased that
attending Texas A&M will keep
him closer to his parents, who
adopted him when he was one
day old.
“So many prayers were
answered by my being able to
stay near my parents,” he said. “I
