RETURNING STANDOUT

A healthy season from 2028 LB/RB Cole Holland could make a big difference for Keyser. Holland was limited to just five games as a sophomore, but the 6’0 200 linebacker has all the tools to become one of the Golden Tornado’s top performers this fall. He’s a physical, downhill defender who plays with the toughness and instincts to control the middle of the defense, and his size makes him well-suited for Keyser’s physical style of football. Holland is also expected to contribute in their Wing-T backfield, giving the Golden Tornado another dependable option to help replace last year’s production. If he can stay on the field, don’t be surprised if Holland puts together one of the bigger stock-rising seasons in the 2028 class.
