A team leader since William Woods University’s inaugural football season, Carter Holloway comes from a hard-working, football-loving family.
“I started playing football because my dad got me into it,” Hollo- way said. “He loved the game, and I grew up around it. As I start- ed playing, I also fell in love with the game. I was in kindergarten
Quite possibly a third Holloway could be a member of WWU, as Carter has provided guidance in 13-year-old brother Mason my games really makes it easier, as well as having a little brother back in Troy who looks up to me and is growing up ters his junior season with goals of being an NAIA All-American and wanting to be more of a vocal leader for his teammates. Already, Holloway has received second-team Heart of America Athletic Conference honors in 2025 and honorable mention All- HAAC in ‘24, as well as being a team captain for WWU. Before Woods, Holloway attended Troy Buchanan High School
2023 and second-team All-GAC in ‘22. Between Troy and Wil- liam Woods, Holloway attended Mizzou but missed football so much, which led to him transferring from MU to WWU. “I heard about William Woods starting a football program, and I reached out,” Holloway explained. “I love the Woods. There are so many ways to get connected to other students, like the LEAD classes with 150 people, and your professors know you and will be at sporting events.”
One football game in particular provided a memorable mo-
ri Valley College on Oct. 18 in Fulton. “My favorite memory as a college athlete has been our Mis- souri Valley game last year where the game lasted over six hours because of lightning delays,” Holloway said. “It sucked during it because we all just wanted to play. We ended up win- ning that game as well, and after the game I looked back and just hanging out and waiting to play the game we all love was fun, and it is something I will never forget.”
