Bolton previously earned First Team honors from the Walter Camp All-America team, and Second Team kudos from The Sports Network. He becomes the third consensus All-America of Mike Kramer's tenure at MSU. Bolton, a three-year starter, played every offensive line position during
his Bobcat career. He earned First Team All-Big Sky honors as a junior and senior.
