Harry Holt bolts into action at the Sunnyside High track meet in March 1976.
After transferring to Sunnyside from Harlingen, Texas, the 6-foot-3, 195-pound Holt quickly showed off his athletic abilities. The speedy, but powerful, senior finished fifth in 3A in rushing despite missing two games and was an All-City selection in 1975.
He also made the North-South high school All-Star game and dazzled spectators while showing off why he was a prized recruit for the UA. As a Wildcat, Holt switched to wide receiver but still saw time as a running back his freshman season. He shined against UTEP when he scored a school-record four rushing touchdowns. However, coach Tony Mason kicked the team's leading receiver off the squad after he missed the charter bus following a 23-7 loss to No. 19 ASU.
Holt didn't crumble from the adversity and shined with British Colombia Lions, where he made their 50th-anniversary Dream Team at tight end. His success in Canada paved the way to a five-year NFL career at tight end with the Cleveland Browns and San Diego Chargers.
