His son, sophomore Paxton Holden, will start at quarterback. Ronin McCauley is a two-way standout at running back and safety. LB Lane Miller anchors the defense. Taty Serrano is the top offensive lineman. Sophomore Brandon Melo and Luke Pimentel are the slotbacks in HMB’s triple option. Auggie Lujan will line up alongside Miller at linebacker.
