I spoke with Kiaro Holts (6’ 4” 266 lb. O-Lineman) who plays football at Warren Central (a powerhouse program in Indiana) in Indianapolis. He is a junior who will be a part of the 2011 recruiting class and has listed the CATS as one of his options (along with several Big 10 Schools and Va. Tech.). He was very respectful and plans on majoring in Electrical Engineering in college.
Kiaro stated that he has not heard from anyone at UK, but does plan to visit soon, and that he is very serious about considering attending there. One of the most intriguing things he said during the interview was that “Most kids, who do not get football scholarships, do not get them because they do not work hard enough”!
For his senior season, Kiaro plans on being a leader for the team, and wants to be known for his toughness (he already bench presses over 300 lbs.). He says that individual honors are important to him because it shows that he is willing to put in the work.
Kiaro also has a teammate, Kris Harley, who is also a junior, and will graduate with him in 2011. Harley, who himself is a well sought after (4*) defensive lineman has several offers from ACC Schools, Stanford, and SEC Schools.
At this time, Holts is rated as a (3*) guard with Scout, but with his offers, and the number of schools that have expressed interest in him that rating means nothing. For his strengths, he feels adept at both pass blocking and run blocking, and plans on working on his speed for the offseason. Of course, he like everyone defines true success in championships and plans on leading his team towards one in 2010.
Where ever Kiaro attends will obviously be getting someone that is highly motivated and a good student.
