Remember Blair Holliday?

[skysdad]

the freshman wide receiver who was severely injured when he collided with Jamison Crowder while riding jet skies? He is walking this week end to get his diploma from Duke University. He's recovering very nicely and after he gets that Duke University diploma he's going to do an internship with FoxSports in Atlanta. He was due to start as a freshman that year but the injury ended all hopes of a football career. Kudos to him for getting that degree from Duke University. Let's keep our eyes open and maybe we will see him working for a major sports network. OFC

Great story of overcoming tragedy. Awesome that he stuck it out and got his degree. A reminder of why the student athlete should be such an important aspect of college sports.

Came back and even after all the adversity WORKED HARD on AND off the field...Always one of our three guys on sidelines in red hats giving signals in games...What an inspirational story!!

Blair Holliday is why you come to Duke Mr. Bolden. You just never know what lies ahead of you.
