LSU Hires Bolden; Nash Joins Chisholm Trail HS

Chisholm Trail High School in Fort Worth, Texas, has appointed Marvin Nash, a coach with experience at Ole Miss and Rice University, as its new head football coach and athletic director, replacing Ricklan Holmes, who led the team to its first postseason appearance last year. Separately, Ole Miss is set to lose its Director of Recruiting Strategy, Kelvin Bolden, who will join LSU in an elevated off-field position. Bolden, instrumental in Ole Miss' recruiting successes since 2022, is expected to strengthen LSU's recruiting presence in Mississippi due to his regional ties. LSU's hiring comes as the Tigers and Ole Miss are scheduled to play each other in Oxford on September 27. These staff changes highlight ongoing shifts and heightened competition in both high school and college football recruiting. The moves underscore the importance of experienced recruiters and coaches in shaping the future of football programs.
