Suspended RB Holloway Commits To Liberty

One day after it was made public that Sirchauncey Holloway would miss his senior season due a one-year suspension for violating an FHSAA bylaw, Holloway locked up an offer to ensure he'll play the season following the suspension.

On Tuesday, Holloway verbally committed to Liberty, a Football Championship Subdivision program (formerly Division I-AA) that had extended a scholarship offer last week.

"I'm very happy," Holloway said. "I can't wait to get up there."

Armwood coach Sean Callahan announced Monday that the FHSAA ruled Holloway, who transferred to Armwood from Plant City in January, was ineligible to play next season because he falsified his living address to gain admittance to Armwood. Callahan said he and Holloway, who rushed for 972 yards and nine touchdowns for the Raiders in 2007, spoke to Liberty coaches Tuesday. When the coaches said the offer was still there, Holloway accepted.

"Everyone was very positive about it," Callahan said. "Liberty really wanted him, and he felt good about it."

BASEBALL: Jared Womack, a recent graduate who was one of the top hitters on Plant's baseball team the past two seasons, has accepted a scholarship offer to Oklahoma State, Panthers coach Dennis Braun said.

Womack, a catcher and a Tribune All-Hillsborough County first-team selection each of the past two seasons, originally signed with Division I High Point in November. However, Braun said Womack asked for and was granted his release from that letter-of-intent, and, after fielding offers from several other Division I programs decided to join the Oklahoma State squad.
