College Football's Best Players by Jersey Number: 36, Cole Holcomb
Posted Jul 20, 2018
No. 36: Cole Holcomb didn't hold any FBS offers during his senior season at New Smyrna Beach (Fla.) High School in 2014. That didn't matter to his coach, Lane Jenkins, who knew Holcomb -- a safety, linebacker and tight end for the Barracudas -- was better than the FCS offers he was receiving and found Holcomb a walk-on spot at North Carolina.
