Since last season, Owen Holloway has been diligently working on improving his hands. Despite his strong numbers by rookie wide receiver standards, he wound up dropping 13 passes. With the margin for error in the ISFL thinner than ever, dropped passes needed to be curbed for Holloway to emerge as a go-to wideout. In addition to that, he's been working on bulking up. After playing quarterback for about half of his DSFL career, he moved to wide receiver. That transition left him a little thinner than his coaches would have liked, and he carried his wiry frame into the pros the following season. The jump in the level of physicality from the DSFL to the ISFL was no joke, and Holloway found himself needing quite a bit of time to recover from the trials of his rookie season. With those adjustments being made, he hopes that he can make some real strides on his rookie season performance and put his name in the conversation with some of the league's best receivers. The Otters are certainly trusting him to do just that, as he was a featured part of their game plan in the pre-season. He will have to fend off stiff competition from Garfield Despacito Jr., however, who is poised for a breakout of his own after Future Trunks' incredible weight gain shifted him to the offensive line. Regardless of which one outperforms the other, the two should be a dynamic combination on the outside of the formation for second-year quarterback Suleiman Ramza.
