Wow....Lakeland is a huge program. I believe same high school as Trey Dempsey. Big kid and appears to have a great arm and athletisism. It's good to be on top.....

Hope Holden brings the same drive and determination Dempsey brought with him from Lakeland.

Mechanics are pretty sound. From the waist up, he reminds me of Peyton Manning in regards to throwing. I say "waist up" because he lacks Peyton's happy-feet dance and moves around more smoothly (check first clip of this video link: http://www.hudl.com/video/3/3809744/...24573b54712718).

Between Lakeland High School, Kathleen High School and Lake Gibson High School (all in Lakeland, FL), quite a few NFL and MLB players have come from these schools.

Notable professional athletes:
Ray Lewis
Freddie Mitchell
Maurkice Pouncey
Mike Pouncey
Chris Rainey
Rod "HE HATE ME" Smart
Chris Sale - Chicago White Sox pitcher
Lee Janzen - Golfer
Bilal Powell


On a personal note, I've had the opportunity to run a few wrestling events at the Lakeland Civic Center - a place that makes most any other venue I've been in look brand new.

Meh. Not much for offers and lets face facts. His WR James Robinson is going to Florida, Ohio St or Clemson....and he just chucks it up to him most times.
with Carson Wentz going #2 you'd think NDSU would be getting some big time QB's. Sorry to spit the truth

I'll be honest with you, his throwing motion is nothing like Manning's.

You must not have watched much of Peyton then. Compare how both hold the ball while going through their progressions and their motion to set up for a quick release.

Manning or not; welcome to the Herd, Mr. Hotchkiss.

Maybe he could talk James Robinson into coming with him.
