The first picture that came up was a mugshot.
On their first date, she asked Garett about his life, hoping an explanation would arise. Over the next hour and a half, he told her everything — making her weep and changing both their lives forever.
'The whole package'
To look at Bolles is to see his potential. He's tall, wide, strong — everything anyone could want physically out of an offensive tackle. From his second day in Utah fall camp, he's taken repetitions with the first-string offense and not looked back.
"He's got the whole package," coach Kyle Whittingham said. "He's got the height, the length, the feet, the hips, he's flexible, he can bend, he's strong, he's athletic.
"He lacks nothing."
His gifts were evident when he was growing up in Lehi, a fast-growing football and lacrosse player.
But a troubled and stressful home life from a young age translated to problems for Bolles, who was suspended or kicked out of five schools as a teenager. His lacrosse coach, Greg Freeman, formed a group of neighborhood families who would host him and help him finish classwork.
As Garett got older, his habits and problems got worse. He used drugs, cut class and ran afoul of the law. As a senior at Westlake High, he was arrested for vandalizing Lehi's campus in 2010, and as an adult, he had to spend time in jail.
"I was a lost kid," he said. "I was confused, angry, like 'What am I doing in here? This isn't who I really am.'"
It came to a head in 2011, when his father, Grove Bolles, kicked him out of the house. He was on the street with a few bags of clothes to his name when Freeman found him and picked him up.
The Freemans, Greg and his wife Emily, laid out strict rules for Garett to live under their roof: He couldn't hang out with his old friends. He had to go to church. He had to pay tithing (and therefore had to work). If he broke any rule, he could be kicked out without warning.
"I remember going to bed that night, and my husband and I talked about it," Emily Freeman said. "I thought he would last a few weeks. Greg thought he would make it three days."
