Bolton, a 6-foot-3, 185-pound point guard out of Petersburg, V.A., averaged 15.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.3 steals per game as a junior during the 2020-21 season.

Bolton started his college career at Penn State, averaging 11.6 points on 38.3 percent from the field in 32 games during the 2018-19 season.
He transferred from Penn State to Iowa State in January 2019 after head coach Pat Chambers allegedly made a comment involving a “noose around [his] neck”.
He joins a Gonzaga newcomer group that features five-star center Chet Holmgren, five-star guard Hunter Sallis and four-star center Kaden Perry.
