Denzel Holder is a massive junior anchor in Chicago State’s first football era
Denzel Holder, a 6-foot-5, 345-pound junior OL in the 2026 season, gives Chicago State real trench size and experienced depth in its historic first football roster. He’s the kind of interior/edge-versatile body teams want if they value raw power, mass, and developmental upside over proven stat lines—though the public stat sheet shows no game stats yet, so the read here is mostly projection. If you need a plug-and-play mauler with a frame built for pass pro and run-game nastiness, Holder is a fit; if you want a polished, already-tested lineman, he’s still more upside than finished product.
