Bolden committed to Penn State University on July 10, 2009. He also had football scholarship offers from the University of Oregon, Michigan State University, Virginia Tech, the University of Wisconsin, and the University of Nebraska, among others.
After arriving on campus in June, Bolden beat out two sophomores, Kevin Newsome and Matt McGloin, and another highly recruited freshman, Paul Jones, to win the starting quarterback job for the first game of the 2010 season against Youngstown State. Bolden became the first true freshman quarterback under head coach Joe Paterno to start the opening game of the season, and the first since Wally Richardson in 1992 to start any game of their freshman season. Bolden was also the first true freshman quarterback at Penn State to start the season since Shorty Miller in 1910. On his decision to name Bolden as the starting quarterback, Paterno said, "He has got an arm, he's got a little poise, he did some things a little better than the other guys on more occasions. There are days I came off the field not knowing who I wanted to play."
