Boland was a prominent center for the Georgia Bulldogs of the University of Georgia from 1927 to 1929. An All-Time Georgia All-Star Team published in 1935 had Boland as the second team center behind Bum Day.[1]

1927

He played center for the 1927 "dream and wonder team" which defeated Yale at the Yale Bowl on October 8.[2][3] He was selected All-Southern by Miss Emily Boyd, sports editor of the Griffin Daily News, the only woman sports editor in the south.[4]

1929

Boland was captain of the 1929 team.[5][6] Georgia again defeated Yale, this time at home in Yale's first game played in the south. He was the first center to receive honorable mention on the Associated Press All-Southern team, placing behind Lloyd Roberts of Tulane and Julian Bealle of South Carolina of the first and second teams.
