Holton was a staple in West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins’ “Press Virginia” style of basketball. On inbounds pass and at the top of the press, Holton harassed and trapped opponents up the floor help leading the Mountaineers as the top team in forced turnovers for his two-year career in Morgantown. 

During his time in the old gold and blue, Holton appeared in 66 games averaging 8.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game. 

Holton was set to join Best Virginia last year but the team decided to withdraw from the tournament due to the impact of COVID-19.
