UW This Season: Rob Hollway will team with junior Fred Givens for the second consecutive year at the noseguard position. He is listed No. 2 behind Givens entering the 2008 season.

He was credited with three total tackles, including one tackle for a loss. 2006: Hollway was credited with one tackle in the three games he appeared in for UW during his sophomore season. 2005: He played in five games as a redshirt freshman for UW, and was credited with two tackles, including a half tackle for a loss.
