Deshawn Holt brings veteran edge and real disruption off the edge for Toledo
In the 2024 season, Deshawn Holt was a productive outside linebacker for Toledo, finishing with 50 total tackles, 2.0 sacks, and a forced fumble while starting in the Rockets’ defense[4][7]. At 6-5 and 245 pounds, he brings long-levered size, steady edge-setting, and enough pass-rush pop to matter on obvious passing downs[2][4]. His value goes beyond box-score stats: he’s a fifth-year veteran with 52 career games, experience at Maryland and Toledo, and a reputation as a reliable, versatile front-seven piece who fits a team needing grown-man toughness and proven production[2][12].
