From scout.com:

Holloway has excellent size, good speed and lateral quickness. Holloway is tough when things come his way because he can disengage blockers and make the stop. When the ball is going away he can pursuit well and play inside out. He attacks and shows very good closing speed. Holloway packs a punch at times and can be a big hitter. He also looks pretty comfortable dropping into coverage during passing situations. Holloway can be explosive.

Mike you have him listed as a Dec grad. So does anyone know if he is already in school?

He just visited this weekend, so I am assuming that he isn't. I'm not sure when the last day to enroll is.

Thanks for the good information; living in south Alabama all that you hear around here is Auburn, Alabama, LSU. (also Southern Miss has had a great recruiting class)--It appears that Tommy is going strong on the JC players....probably not a bad way to go since it doesn't appear that we can compete with SEC schools in getting the Blue Chippers and redshirting them for a year.
