He will team up with Jordan Smith Jr., Anthony Thompson, Deron Rippey Jr., Tay Kinney, Adonis Ratliff, Toni Bryant, Darius Ratliff, Jaxon Richardson, Latrell Almond, Jasiah Jervis, and Darius Bivins.

He will have the same jersey colors as top-ranked senior Tyran Stokes, Cam Williams, Christian Collins, Jason Crowe Jr., Brandon McCoy, Caleb Gaskins, JJ Andrews, Arafan Diane, Maximo Adams, Austin Goosby, and Quinn Costello. Holt is the fourth-best prospect among seniors behind Stokes, Williams, and Smith.
