Yesterday, I lost more than just a former player—I lost a piece of my heart. Jordan Holt was one of “my 3”—three young men I brought under my wing during our time in junior college. I didn’t just coach them, I watched them grow, guided them, and in the process, they became family.
Jayden Bledsoe
Rest easy, Jordan. You’ll forever be in our hearts!
