Class of 2019 junior college defensive tackle Corey Bolds is entertaining three teams heading into traditional signing day.

The 6-foot-4, 286-pounder is a former four-star and 30-offer recruit.

Following a stint at Penn State, and now ASA College (Brooklyn, N.Y.), Bolds is ready to get back on the field while maintaining his academic eligibility.

Which school will he choose?

Oregon

Oregon head coach Mario Cristobal -- who first offered Bolds as a high school sophomore when Cristobal was at Alabama -- remains in touch.

"We spoke two days ago and he told me as long as I'm not committed, he would come see me next week," Bolds said. "He looked at my high school film over again and he asked me where am I comfortable at. He said I look quick on my film at [defensive end] in high school. He said he liked that. He asked me about my frame and things like that. I told him I'm most comfortable playing d-end and he said he likes how I look there on film."

Bolds says he's spoken with Cristobal four times over the last week.

Georgia

Bolds has a preexisting relationship with Georgia defensive line coach Tray Scott that has spilled into 2019. The two have reconnected and are in the process of figuring out whether Bolds could be a good fit for the Bulldogs.

"I spoke with Tray Scott earlier this week," Bolds said. "We've been talking, too. He was saying he didn't even know I left Penn State last summer, and that he's going to give my film a long, hard look. So I'm going to see what he's saying when he gets back to me. But he seemed really interested in catching up with me and seeing if we cold come together now."

Rutgers still involved?

Bolds has had limited contact with Rutgers head coach Chris Ash recently. Bolds said he still has interest in Rutgers, but not much has occurred to suggest that Rutgers is where he'll end up.

"The last time we spoke I had just gotten back on campus, so he was asking how I was doing with my classes and stuff like that," Bolds said. "But nothing more than that."

May graduation

Bolds says he's on track to graduate from ASA with his associates degree in May. He could sign with a team on national signing day if committed somewhere. But his recruitment could go beyond that, as signing day isn't a cutoff, although almost universally being viewed as one.

Bolds has yet to set any official visits, but said he will over the next couple weeks. He'll have three years to play once he returns to a four-year institution.

Getting stronger

Bolds has a nice Power 5 frame which he's tweaked via a workout from a team of individuals which have helped him for years. He's also made overall conditioning strides, which is essential as he ascends back to the Power 5 grind.

"My trainer from TNT has been sending me workout," Bolds said. "He trained the PC football team and he's been training me since eighth grade. I'm getting stronger. Even when I was at Penn State, I always wanted to get stronger. And that's something I've been able to do over the past couple months."
