Holloway honored
Virginia Tech freshman and Andrews native Tucker Holloway was named the Atlantic Coast Conference’s Specialist of the Week after his performance against Georgia Tech. Holloway returned a punt 90 yards for a touchdown, and his 188 punt return yards against the Yellow Jackets is believed to be the most in a single game in school history.
Holloway has appeared in four games, and this was only his second as the starting punt returner. He attended Andrews High School from 2017-20 before finishing his high school education at Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School and reclassifying to the Class of 2022.
