Just spoke with Holcomb, so I've got a full story coming in a few minutes. Told you this was the most likely commit, after that UC official came.
I didn't realize, though, Holcomb got offered in late May, about a week and a half before he set the official visit for this past weekend. But there weren't really any other serious contenders. Holcomb said he also looked at Ohio, Marshall and Toledo, but once the UC offer came, he was pretty set. This past weekend sealed the deal and he actually gave the coaches his commitment before he left yesterday.
At UC, Holcomb will play middle linebacker in the 3-4. He told me he feels like he'd be a perfect fit.
"I mean, I just love the family environment, the relationship with Coach Braswell," he told me. "I see the opportunity they’re giving me, the love they have. That’s my ultimate goal, to play football at the highest level and they have that for me."
