Physical, Versatile DB Who Battled Through Injuries
Holsey was a tough, versatile defensive back at Auburn, starting 31 of 44 games and finishing with 118 tackles and 4 interceptions, while earning All-SEC third-team honors in 2016. His defining trait was resilience: despite tearing his ACL twice, he stayed productive and was viewed as one of Auburn’s better DBs in recent memory. He fit best as a competitive, physical coverage piece who could play corner or safety, especially for a team valuing grit, football IQ, and proven comeback toughness over spotless durability.
