Holloway attended Jefferson Davis High School in Alabama where he played football and ran track.[3] He played college football for the Tennessee State Tigers from 1983 to 1986.[4] He was signed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent following the 1987 NFL draft, but was released following preseason, where he caught one pass.[5][6] He was re-signed by the Buccaneers during the 1987 NFL strike and started all three games at tight end, placing second on the strike team with 10 catches.[6] In the last strike game, he caught eight passes for 107 yards, tying the team's single-game record for catches by a tight end.[7][8]
Holloway was one of a limited number of players kept after the strike ended, and he appeared in three further games, making one start, before being released.[6] He later had stints with the Miami Dolphins in 1988 and New York Jets in 1989, although he did not make the final roster either year.[5][6] He ended his career with six games played, four as a starter, and 10 receptions for 127 yards.[1]
