Brian Kelly has raided a rival for a high-ranking recruiting position according to multiple reports.
Kelvin Bolden is leaving his position as Director of Recruiting Strategy at Ole Miss to join LSU ass Assistant General Manager
Bolden has been in Oxford for three years and helped build the rosters that have allowed the Rebels to win 21 games over the last two seasons under Lane Kiffin.
LSU General Manager Austin Thomas spent time at Ole Miss with Bolden in 2023 before making the move to LSU. Thomas reportedly played a large role in luring Bolden over.
Bolden is an Ocean Springs, Mississippi, native who played wide receiver at Southern Miss.
Based on the reaction in Oxford, this is a big one.
