Early Life:

Boldin played football, basketball, and ran track at Pahokee High School⁽³⁾.  His ability playing as a quarterback led him to be named Florida’s Mr. Football in 1998⁽⁴⁾.  During his senior season, Pahokee held a 10 – 0 regular season record including a 34 – 14 over Glades Central in the annual Muck Bowl⁽⁵⁾.  After the season, he was a USA Today first – team selection and named Florida Player of the Year.⁽⁶⁾
