The Texas Longhorns are facing a major offensive overhaul in 2025, and wide receiver Silas Bolden is one of the key departures. After wrapping up his senior season with Texas, Bolden posted an emotional farewell on social media, sharing a powerful video of his moments with the team.
Bolden, along with standouts Matthew Golden and Quinn Ewers, will be leaving as the Longhorns prepare for the Arch Manning era. Though he didn’t fully rise to stardom, Bolden’s impact on the field was undeniable. With 103 receptions for 1,343 yards and 10 touchdowns, plus 199 rushing yards and 5 additional scores, he displayed versatility and playmaking ability.
Known for his special teams contributions, Bolden also electrified fans with two punt return touchdowns during his career. Now, he’s setting his sights on the NFL, where his speed and potential could make him a valuable late-round pick, especially for a team seeking a dynamic special teams contributor and role player.
Though his time at Texas was brief, Bolden’s presence was felt, and fans will remember his contributions. As he looks toward the next chapter in his career, here’s hoping he finds success on the biggest stage of all.
