In the run up to the UVA game, I thought it’d be great to sit down with an important visitor to Blacksburg. So I rang up 2018 linebacking recruit Dax Hollifield for an interview. Hollifield plays middle linebacker for Shelby, a 2A high school in North Carolina. They’ve won 3 state championships in a row, though he so far has only been part of two of them. They’re currently in a huge run- undefeated- through their state playoffs this year.
First of all, he’s being recruited by Coach Shibest as he’s the area recruiter. Don’t be surprised though that Coach Fuente was very aware of him and made him a priority…and fast.
