How this long and athletic pole with a well-rounded skill set remains available is a complete mystery. Last spring, Holzhauer was an absolute ball hawk who caused 48 turnovers and vacuumed up 51 ground balls. Those impressive stats garnered Holzhauer 1st Team All-Suburban One League honors. Out on the perimeter Holzhauer is a rangy defender with speed and a lively stick. That trifecta allows Holzhauer to provide suffocating on-ball defense. Holzhauer’s deep bag of stick checks frequently puts the ball on the ground. In close, Holzhauer uses his smooth lateral footwork and physicality to shut down dodgers from GLE and X. The combination of Holzhauer’s lengthy wingspan and anticipation skills allow him to intercept or deflect passes. With his scoop and go skills, Holzhauer is a plus player in the clearing / transition game too.
