Hollowell is just one of many Technicians to pick Michigan in the past few years. He was Michigan’s second commitment for the class of 2011 and never wavered when the old coaching staff was fired in early January.
Hollowell looks like the most likely of the freshman cornerbacks to redshirt. At only 163-ish pounds and having run track this spring, he probably hasn’t had much time to bulk up. And college players in the Big Ten generally need to be bigger than 163 to play. A few of these freshmen defensive backs will probably play, either on defense or special teams, but my guess is that Hollowell won’t be one of them.
Prediction: Redshirt
