How Dax Hollifield’s dad is helping him through the recruiting process

The recruiting process can quickly grow tiresome for blue-chip prospects.

Nonstop phone calls, text messages and letters filled with promises of what will happen if you attend a certain school can be fun at first, but the attention can be overwhelming if not handled the right way.

Shelby High linebacker Dax Hollifield received his first offer as a ninth-grader and has heard it all from college coaches for the past three years, but he believes he has an advantage over others in his position.

Hollifield’s dad, Aubrey Hollifield, played defensive tackle at Wake Forest and has been there for Dax throughout this journey.
