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

VYPE 2020 Preview: Private School No. 4 Kinkaid Falcons
Sep 16, 2020
Welcome to the 2020 football season. What a weird offseason it was for everyone. There was not a summer camp circuit for player to go showcase their talents at. In-person recruiting came to a screeching halt and the COVID-19 Pandemic has affected everyone.
But VYPE has still done what we have always done when it comes to previewing Texas high school football here in Houston. With that said here is Private School No. 4 Kinkaid Falcons!
CLICK HERE TO PRE-ORDER THE 2020 VYPE HOUSTON FOOTBALL PREVIEW MAGAZINE
<p>The Kinkaid Falcons return 10 starters from a team that was doubled-up by <a href="https://www.vype.com/search/?q=Episcopal" target="_blank">Episcopal</a> in the SPC finals, 42-21. Coach <a data-linked-post="2645581829" href="https://www.vype.com/kinkaids-four-time-spc-champ-coach-playing-prevent-defense-at-home" target="_blank">Nathan Larned</a> and the Falcons still sting from the loss in 2019 and have revenge in their eyes. Johnny House and Dillon Bell are dual-threats as receivers and DBs. The bigs on both sides of the ball are Ezekiel Evans, Cayman Duncan and Tommy Holstead. Kinkaid is in need of a QB to emerge to get them over the hump. Kinkaid will be playing an independent schedule this fall outside of the SPC. </p>
