This weekend, Holler will see Big Ten football at its best, as he travels to Columbus for the Ohio State-Michigan game, one of the nation’s fiercest rivalries, a game that has national title implications.

This will be Holler’s first official visit. He’ll travel to Virginia Tech on Nov. 29, Penn State on Dec. 6 and Miami on Dec. 13.
All of Holler’s favorites have offered, with the exception of Miami, though Holler expects to ‘Canes to step forward soon.

Holler is rated by Rivals.com as a four-star recruit and as the No. 82 overall prospect nationally.
