I like him for our system. He's physical, and our WRs need to enjoy blocking. They have to like hitting people. I think Holland does. He does seem to run good routes and have good straight-line speed. I think he needs to work on his explosiveness and his lateral quickness, so I would guess that he would likely redshirt for a year, but I would be happy to have him on the team.

This is the kind of young man we need.

Sr., does Jr. have a genuine interest in LSU? Or would it just be nice to have the "big boy" offer? Would love to have this kid aboard. Looks like a winner, with a strong personal backing.

Get on the Buga Nation train Holland....you don't wanna be suspect.

Wow. Doesn't look like most HS wide outs. Looks like a big safety.

just by looking at the playoff highlights the dude is a beast. Although far fewer, his defensive highlights at the end are unreal

This guy is from less than an hour away from me and I have never heard of him.

Maybe I should get out more, his highlights look outstanding

yes, please get him on campus. Sharon Lewis can do it, she organizes both official and unofficial visits (with blessings from coaching staff). Let Cam and Coach Henry see him in person.
