KJ Bolden is Georgia’s do-it-all, award-watch secondary anchor
In the 2025 season, KJ Bolden became Georgia’s second-leading tackler with 76 total tackles, added 2 interceptions, 7 pass breakups, a fumble recovery, and a blocked kick, while starting all 14 games and earning SEC Coaches All-SEC Second Team honors[6][10][12]. He’s viewed as a top-10 defensive player nationally for 2026, which tracks with the tape: range, versatility, and playmaking from the back end, plus the kind of competitiveness that keeps him on the field in every big moment[10][11][15]. If you want a rangy, high-IQ safety who can erase space and make drive-killing plays, he’s absolutely a fit.
