Holloway is a former McDonald's All-American who was the No. 4 point guard and No. 18 overall player in the 2023 recruiting class. He played for Prolific Prep in Napa, California, in high school.
Holloway gives Alabama needed guard depth. The Crimson Tide has seen Davin Cosby and Rylan Griffen depart via the transfer portal while Aaron Estrada saw his collegiate eligibility expire.
