Holst recapped his recent summer college camps.
"I went to all three North Central College camps along with going to camps at Kentucky and also NIU. I fell like my best camp this summer was at the second North Central College camp. I tested and ran really well at that camp and the camp also had a lot of college coaches who I talked to during and after that camp. I thought that the college camps ended up being a good experience for me. I was able to learn a lot at those camps from the college coaches and it really helped my overall game. I've only been playing quarterback since my freshman year so I still have a lot I need to learn and improve at the position. The college coaches really helped me with my overall fundamentals. They gave me great feedback and focused on helping me correcting a few things that will make me a better quarterback."
