The 6-foot-5, 285-pound lineman is a nice get for the Generals. He is an Eagle Scout and also scored a 34 on his ACT. On the field he is a force. Holstead can fill the gap nicely, has a lot of strength to push around opposing defensive lineman and can get out in the open and block well. He has a lot of raw talent. </p>Donovan Jackson - Episcopal
