As the #1 high School recruit, Stanford’s Bill Walsh found his new leader that would launch his high-powered West Coast Offense - 6’7”, 275lb Tackle Brian Holloway. Holloway’s passion, work-ethic and leadership lifted Stanford to national rankings while protecting future Hall of Famer, John Elway's blindside.

The timing was perfect. Holloway’s fierce competitive team spirit, new style of full field play transformed the 2-14 New England Patriots into a culture of Champions.

Despite the loss, the gateway to the Super Bowl was now open and their sacred 7 Covenants of Team Champion, today known as The Patriot Way continues to drives the New England Patriots Dynasty.

Holloway comes from a long line of prominent national leaders who helped shape America, he is the 5th generation of advisors to The White House and Homeland Security.
