Bob Holt, the long-time Arkansas sportswriter who has covered the Razorbacks since 1981, died Wednesday night. He was 65.
His death comes four days after he collapsed while walking back to the Faurot Field press box following postgame interviews Saturday at the University of Missouri, his alma mater.
During his illustrious 43-year career, Holt was named the Arkansas Sportswriter of the Year by the National Sports Media Association four times — in 2000, 2015, 2019 and 2021 — and was inducted into the Arkansas Sportscasters and Sportswriters Hall of Fame in 2022.
This tribute could go into great detail on Holt’s skills as a journalist.
