There’s a saying around the East Carolina University campus: “Nobody loves Greenville more than Holton Ahlers.”
Well ok, it’s not a saying exactly – more like a sentiment. A romanticism really, but we believe it to be true.
When the fifth-year quarterback made a definitive decision to come back to ECU for one more year, it wasn’t about raising his draft stock or being nominated for a bunch of pre-season awards (which he was). It was about his team and leaving Greenville better than he found it.
“I came here with a mission to get this place back to where it’s supposed to be, where I grew up seeing it and I couldn’t give up that for anything in the world,” Ahlers explained to Underdog Dynasty.
