LSU’s Trey Holly named SEC Freshman of the Week

On Saturday night, LSU fans got their first look at true freshman Trey Holly.

Holly was a four-star running back from Farmerville, Louisiana. He will likely be redshirted this year but he got his time in the spotlight against Army.

Holly finished the night with six rushing attempts for 91 yards and a touchdown with his biggest play being a 67-yard scoring run with 52 seconds left in the game. Holly finished the night with the most rushing yards on the team in only his first game, and he took home SEC Freshman of the Week honors for his efforts.

LSU has a full stable of running backs consisting of John Emery Jr., Noah Cain, Logan Diggs, Kaleb Jackson and Josh Williams.

With that much talent, it’s hard to divvy out enough carries for everyone. Diggs has become the No. 1 running back on the team with some combination of Emery/Williams/Cain/Jackson after him. With the new redshirt rule, Brian Kelly has the opportunity to redshirt a guy as talented as Holly and still be able to play him in at least four games.
