Former Union Parish football star Trey Holly has enrolled at Southern University as a walk-on, as he’s not allowed to play at LSU because he faces felony charges from a shooting. Holly is Louisiana’s all-time leading high school rusher and committed to the Tigers in 2022, but he has not seen the field since three games his freshman season. Jaguars head coach Terrence Graves said Holly is ready to go.
“Got enrolled in school, so we’re gonna give him an opportunity to work out here. He paid his way, got admitted in school, and we’re gonna give him an opportunity to be a part of our program,” said Graves.
Holly has been suspended from the LSU football team since a February 2024 shooting in his hometown of Farmerville. He was originally charged with attempted murder, but those charges have been dropped. Holly still faces charges of aggravated criminal damage and illegal use of a weapon. Since those are pending felony charges, Holly can not suit up for LSU.
Holly has maintained his innocence. He is still awaiting trial after numerous delays. Graves said Southern will give him a fresh start.
“Let’s just see what he does,” said Graves. “Give him an opportunity, don’t put a lot of added pressure on him, just be the young man that he is.”
