From Special Reports
STARKVILLE – Not only a name on the court, but also a name in the community, senior forward Aric Holman has always striven to put others before himself, and his desire to give back to others has led him to be named to the 2019 SEC Community Service Team.
Giving back to the community means a lot to Holman, as he strives to make a difference with everyone he meets. One of the ways that he has been able to do that is with the T.K. Martin Circus Fun Run, which is part of the Mississippi State community. Volunteers help to ensure that persons with disabilities are able to continually benefit from technological solutions and advances in the field of assistive technology.
He has also volunteered with vacation bible school and is an active member of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC).
During the regular season, the Owensboro, Kentucky, native has notched 193 rebounds and 50 blocks. In his career, he has 674 rebounds and has etched the 1,000-point mark at Mississippi State with 1,001 to be the 39th player to do so.
Holman will graduate in May 2019 with a degree in interdisciplinary studies.
