Tom Holton rises from “fat boy” to star blocker wins praise
In a heartwarming Quarterback Club tale, Glenn Ellison recalls Tom Holton, once dismissed as slow and overweight, transforming into the leading blocker in the Middies season. Holton, at 170 pounds, stood out in the 26-6 victory over Hamilton, with Decatur and Spradling close behind in blocking grades. Ellison predicts Holton may win the season’s best blocker trophy, a rise rooted in dedication, wrestling, and a steel-mill summer.
