Holt attended Banning High School in Wilmington, California. He was a three-year letterman in football where he was starting fullback behind teammate Jamelle Holieway and ran through holes created by teammate Courtney Hall. He was named the California High School fullback of the Year as a senior.
Holt was the first USC fullback to start all four years. He broke Sam Cunningham's all-time records for rushing yards and carries without a fumble.
Holt was drafted with the 137th pick of the 1990 NFL Draft by the Miami Dolphins. His career was shortened when he fractured a vertebra in his neck during the preseason in practice.[1]
