College RB Coach
Coach Hollis
From Valdosta, Georgia
Personal history
Andre Hollis grew up in Valdosta, Georgia — Titletown, they'll tell you — where running backs are local royalty. He learned ball security from a youth coach who made him carry a football to school for a week.
He coaches vision, patience, and protection, and he believes a back who blocks gets the ball more.
