As a student athlete, Bolin was a three-year starter and earned his bachelor’s degree from New Mexico State University.

“I am excited to join the Patriot community and ready to get to work,” Richie Bolen said in a statement. “I am thankful to athletic director Tim Davis and principal Dr. Kenny Seals for trusting me with this opportunity.”
