Following the season, Holman was named second-team All-America by The Sports Network and first-team All-America by Don Hansen's Football Gazette. Holman enters his senior season as a preseason first-team All-SLC selection.
The Lumberjacks are entering their final week of fall camp before opening the season Thursday, Aug. 31, at Tulsa. The game is slated to begin at 6 p.m. from Skelly Stadium.
