Golden was rated as a three-star prospect in the 247Sports Composite Rankings, an accurate talent indicator as the tool takes into account evaluations of all the major recruiting services.

A target of many teams in the Mountain West Conference, Hawaii, Nevada, San Diego State, San Jose State and Utah State, just about everyone, hoped for a potential pledge from him.

Programs from the Pac-12 Conference expressed varied levels of interest too, with Washington State going so far as to putting an offer on the table. Arizona and Cal were in the mix.

When push came to shove, however, and it was decision time, Golden had his sights set on lining up for the Broncos on Saturdays. Something he’ll also do in the brand’s All-American Bowl.
