Markell Holman brings proven production and downhill punch to Wyoming’s backfield
Holman enters 2026 as a senior transfer with real résumé juice: in the 2025 season at Western Illinois, he rushed for 1,063 yards and seven touchdowns, added 39 catches for 314 yards and two more scores, and led the Ohio Valley Conference in rushing. Wyoming has already used him as a second-team, between-the-tackles runner, where his 6-foot, 214-pound frame and physical style stand out; reports also note he impressed quickly in spring ball and can pair with a quicker back for a one-two punch. If you want a hard-nosed, productive, pass-capable back who can stabilize a rotation, he’s your guy.
