LSU senior wide receiver Rob Bolden will transfer to another school prior to the 2014 season, a source close to LSU said Monday. Bolden transferred to LSU as a quarterback from Penn State two years ago.

Bolden, a 6-feet-4, 208-pounder from Detroit, was moved from quarterback to wide receiver last spring but was not expected to have an impact in 2014. Possible landing places include Central Michigan or Eastern Michigan, the source said.

Bolden played little in LSU's spring game in April and caught one pass for 37 yards. After playing in 20 games with 15 starts at quarterback for Penn State, Bolden did not play during his two seasons at LSU. He apparently was not an option for being moved back to quarterback for 2014 after Stephen Rivers and Hayden Rettig transferred earlier this year.

That leaves LSU with two scholarship quarterbacks, sophomore Anthony Jennings and freshman Brandon Harris, for the 2014 season.

I sure hope Jennings and Harris are able to stay healthy.


If we were down to just Bolden at QB, we would be as screwed as it would be now with just a walk on QB

At some point the kid should just admit he sucks at football (relatively) and just enjoy college.

Meh, if Harris/Jennings go down, we should just tank and go for the #1 pick in the recruiting draft

Wish him the best of luck.

I actually liked what I saw from him as a WR in the spring game.

Why would he go to one of those? He couldn't play. Already used his redshirt. Did he graduate?

Well if our top 2 options go down, our season is fricked anyway so I don't think our 3rd string QB matters that much.

i wonder if we are the only school to lose 3 QBs in a off season due to transferring and not draft,injury,or graduation

Weird.

I thought he was brought here for depth. Where would he go to provide additional depth?

Is there such thing as a better school for third stringers?
