Notes: Lettered in football, basketball and track in high school. Played tight end as a true freshman in 1996. Moved from tight end to defensive end in '97 and played in three games before red-shirting after injuring a tendon in his finger. Saw limited action in '98. Started four times in '99 and had 43 tackles, seven tackles for loss and two sacks. Moved to tackle in 2000 and won All-Western Athletic Conference honors. Had 54-16-10.
Positives: Good athlete. Has quickness, agility and some speed. Quick off the ball and is very effective when he wins with his first move. Has closing speed and a burst. Became a pretty good pass rusher in 2000, when he made great improvements in his overall game.
Negatives: Undersized defensive lineman who never really settled into a position until 2000. Short for an end and really small for a tackle. Has a hard time taking on and shedding blockers. Big blockers tend to engulf him. 
Summary: Must continue to improve as much as he did in 2000. Shows good movement skills but is still not very big and powerful.

Player Bio
A quick and agile end, Holloway wreaked havoc in opposing backfield for the past two seasons. Initially a tight end, Holloway switched to defense in '97, but a torn tendon in his finger forced him to take a medical redshirt that year. After seeing limited action in '98, he returned in '99 and blossomed into the anchor of the Miners' defense. Using his quick feet, he penetrated offensive lines to collect seven tackles for a loss and two sacks. Leading the WAC last season with 10 1/2 sacks, he displayed the ability to get to quarterbacks. Holloway is fast for an end and has an excellent burst. He is somewhat undersized and is not much of factor against the run. He will need to bulk up without losing quickness to find a spot on an NFL roster. -- Profile by STATS, Inc.

Info from CBS SportsLine:

Quick athletic pass rusher completed an excellent senior season that earned him WAC Defensive Player of the Year honors. Holloway had a dominant season from the outside which was instrumental in the Miners' success that earned them a Humanitarian Bowl berth. He has a sturdy frame and fine mobility that has allowed him to use his excellent strength and leverage to beat much bigger players in matchups. He shows the quickness on the snap to come off the edge as a dangerous sack artist and surprises blockers with his deceptive strength and power. He has the upfield speed and burst to the ball to finish the play and became a consistent outside threat since late in his junior season. 

As a senior, Holloway totaled 56 tackles with 15 TFLs and 10.5 sacks and a league leading 31 hurries and 4 forced fumbles. He is a former walk-on who has a non-stop motor and plays with intensity, good instincts and nice athletic skills. He has played big in run support despite his smallish frame, getting fine use of his quickness and strength to get blockers off balance. He is quick in pursuit with the ability to chase down runners from behind. 

As a junior, he made 2 sacks, 43 tackles and 7 TFLs in five starts, including one at nose tackle. He has an assortment of pass rushing moves, combining excellent hand use and the footwork to change directions for additional moves. He will surprise at the point of attack and has the well rounded skills to become an every down defender. He is a fast rising defender who is coming off a huge effort as a senior and is ready for a situational pass rushing role as a rookie. 

At the combine, he did a 34.5-inch vertical leap and did 19 reps. Good late pick with the talent to surprise and one of the biggest major college sleepers in this class.
