Only days after adding Alabama transfer Isaiah Bond, Texas has landed yet another significant contributor. Texas is seemingly becoming a loaded 2024 wide receiver room Tuesday night in Oregon State transfer Silas Bolden.
An experienced wide receiver, Bolden has seen action across each of the last four seasons at Oregon State, amassing a combined 80 receptions for 1,076 yards and nine touchdowns.
The former Beaver has also rushed for 202 yards and four touchdowns on 21 attempts during that span, as well as ranking as one of the Pac-12’s top kickoff returners the last two years, which included a conference-best 27.2 yards per return during the 2022 campaign.

As for the 2023 campaign, Bolden was the Beavers top wideout this past fall by accounting for 54 receptions, which translated to 746 yards and five touchdowns. Bolden also rushed for two more scores, as well as averaged 23.1 yards per kickoff return.
Now joining a loaded Texas offensive picture in 2024, Bolden, alongside the aforementioned Bond, adds experience and depth to a talented Longhorns wide receiver room that is set to replace the likes of Xavier Worthy and Adonai Mitchell.
