LSU running back Trey Holly will be playing college football in Baton Rouge this fall, but it won’t be for the Tigers. He’ll walk on at Southern University, an LSU official confirmed to the Reveille Wednesday.

Holly hasn’t played for LSU since 2023 and has been suspended because of his alleged involvement in a shooting in Union Parish that injured two. He was charged with attempted second-degree murder, which has since been dropped, as well as illegal use of a weapon and aggravated criminal damage to property, which he is still contesting.

Holly’s court date was initially set for July 7, but it’s reportedly been postponed with no new date publicly announced.

Louisiana First reported the news after spotting Holly at Southern practice Tuesday. Southern head coach Terrence Graves confirmed Holly was eligible to play for Southern this season, Louisiana First said. The Baton Rouge Advocate confirmed Holly’s walk-on status via a Southern spokesperson.

“He can’t play football here until the legal matters have been settled,” head coach Brian Kelly said of Holly in September.

Holly was formerly a star at Union Parish High School in Farmerville, Louisiana, and set the state high school record for rushing yards in a career.

In his freshman season with LSU, Holly appeared in three games and ran for 110 yards and a touchdown, including a standout performance against Army.

LSU is set at running back without Holly, with sophomore Caden Durham leading the charge and two talented freshmen in Harlem Berry and JT Lindsey entering the fold. Junior Kaleb Jackson also returns after a 2024 season that was less productive than expected.
