Holloman was the heart and soul of the Spartans this season, averaging 9.1 points and 3.7 assists in 23 minutes per game. With one year of eligibility remaining, he was expected to be a major part of their team next season, but he will now look elsewhere.

He had a storied high school career at local Minnesota powerhouse Cretin-Derham Hall. He was named 2022 Gatorade Player of the Year, but lost out on Minnesota Mr. Basketball to Braeden Carrington, who started his college career with the Gophers. Holloman averaged 18.8 points, 10.4 assists, 8.3 rebounds and 3.3 steals per game as a senior, and he was ranked as the No. 81 player in the country, according to the 247Sports' composite ranking.

Holloman chose Michigan State over top offers from Illinois, Marquette and his hometown Gophers, among others. His mother, Crystal Flint, played women's basketball at the University of Minnesota in the 1990s.

Holloman is expected to be one of the most highly-touted players in this year's transfer portal, and he will likely be pursued by a laundry list of top programs. New Gophers head coach Niko Medved has only two scholarship players returning on his 2025-26 roster, and he will likely pursue all avenues to fill out his roster. If he opts to pursue Holloman, he will have a lot of competition.
