27 Aug 2024 501 Football Team 2024: Aaron Holland – Magnet Cove

Good luck keeping Aaron Holland off the field. The Magnet Cove Panthers senior offensive/defensive lineman refuses to leave.

“My sophomore year during the offseason, I had a bad episode during school,” he said. “They thought something was wrong with my heart, but I ended up being OK. Last year, I had a torn labrum in Week 6, and I continued to play for the next five weeks. I want to be remembered as the guy who never gave up.”

Holland’s tough mindset led him to earn all-conference honors the last two seasons. 

“On the field, he’s a tough player, smart and plays through pain,” Magnet Cove Coach Dean Adams said. “He can make adjustments on the fly. Off the field, he’s academically successful, involved in church and a great friend. He’s a positive role model for kids, opens the doors for elementary students throughout the school year, and is involved in his church, where he has a positive influence on younger students.

“I expect him to be a leader for the younger offensive linemen and to lead by example.”

After falling in the first round of the playoffs last season, Holland has a clear goal for his senior year.

“I want to win a home playoff game by putting in extra hours off the field and by watching film and learning our opponents,” he said.

Holland is a multi-sport athlete who competes in basketball and track at Magnet Cove. He’s also a member of the choir, drama and GT.
