Tye Holsey brings size and reliability to Gardner-Webb’s secondary
In the 2026 season, Gardner-Webb senior DB Tye Holsey has logged early action as a rotational defender, with one tackle in the opener at Austin Peay and 205-pound frame that fits a physical, matchup-flexible defensive back role. He’s a long, experienced presence at 6-2 who profiles as a dependable depth piece with special-teams value and the kind of length coaches like when they want to contest throws and tackle cleanly. If you need a steady, low-drama defensive back who can add toughness and versatility, Holsey makes sense.
