Cole Holcomb's trip from walk-on to starting LB

Posted Aug 16, 2016
There were no college scholarship offers for Cole Holcomb, at least none worthy of remembrance years later. Throughout most of spring practice in 2015, Holcomb was still a little-known walk-on. Opportunities for significant playing time in practice remained scarce. That led to a second-string position a season ago, and now, a starting position entering the season. (NCAA.com)
