smart, steady, and always around the football
In the 2016 season, T.J. Holloman was a high-volume, assignment-clean linebacker for South Carolina, ranking third on the team with 71 tackles (51 solo) while starting 12 games and playing every game. He stood out less for flash and more for reliability: insiders described him as diligent, well-prepared, and one of the program’s better zone-coverage linebackers, with a knack for being in the right place at the right time. If a team wants a cerebral, durable defender who won’t beat himself, Holloman is a strong fit.
