Jalen Bolden gives Texas State a steady two-way guard with sneaky scoring juice
In the 2025-26 season, Jalen Bolden has been a reliable rotation guard for Texas State, averaging about 5.2 points in 16.4 minutes while flashing efficient shot-making and active defense. He’s the kind of player coaches like because he does a little of everything—scores without forcing it, competes on the glass, and brings steal activity and toughness that don’t always pop in a box score. The fit question is simple: if your team wants a tough, glue-guy guard who can pressure the ball and fit into a system, Bolden makes sense.
