A native of New Holland, SD, Trevor Holleman was a leader during one of the most extraordinary and successful football eras in USF school history. A two-time All-American and two-time NAIA Scholar Athlete, Holleman was part of three national championship teams in 2006, 2008 and 2009. Considered one of the best ever to play in the defensive backfield at USF, he helped the Cougars to a 56-1 record with three unbeaten seasons.
During his time at USF, the Cougars posted a 15-1 postseason record. Holleman, who earned a Bachelor of Science degree in biology from USF in 2010, helped the Cougars win four conference titles. He had 16 career interceptions (third all-time at USF) for 282 yards (second all-time at USF) and a 17.6 return average. Holleman, who set a school record with six blocked kicks in his career, registered three defensive TDs including two by interception returns. He finished his career with 191 career tackles and 154 solo stops while accumulating 17.5 tackles for loss, four forced fumbles, 39 passes defended and 23 pass breakups.
In leading USF to a 15-0 record in 2009, Holleman had 62 tackles with 49 solo stops, eight tackles for loss, seven interceptions, 14 passes defended and seven pass breakups in earning first team NAIA All-American honors. As a junior, he was All-American with 42 tackles, 34 solo stops, 5.5 tackles for loss, four interceptions and 14 passes defended as USF finished 14-0 with the No. 1 ranked defense in the NAIA ranks. In 2008, he also had an interception in the 23-7 title game win over Carroll College. As a sophomore, he led USF to the title game in a season that included 71.5 tackles, 57 solo stops, 4.5 tackles for loss, five interceptions and 10 passes defended. In eight games as a freshman, he totaled 15.5 tackles and a pass breakup for USF’s second-ever national championship team in 2006.
After graduating from USF, Holleman graduated summa cum laude from the University of Nebraska Medical Center’s College of Dentistry.
