Michigan State PG Tre Holloman on his way to becoming a leader

Several Michigan State University basketball players will take on larger roles in the 2024–25 season.

Perhaps the most critical move will be that of Spartan point guard Tre Holloman. Hollman has been the backup point guard and is now entering his third season with a chance to become a regular.

His responsibilities also include leading his teammates, especially the newcomers. Holloman can draw on past experience in this regard.

“For me, I was the new guy and they just took me under their wing,” he said Tuesday at the 2024 Moneyball Pro-Am. “So I just try to make it as comfortable for them as possible.”

The most important quality of a general is, of course, the ability to take on a leadership role.

“I’m the point guard, so I have to lead a team, make sure everything runs smoothly and make sure I’m the coach on the field,” Holloman said.

Holloman and his teammates are fortunate to be able to lean on Spartan greats who came before them, and the junior point guard has used some of them to his advantage and let them guide him as he takes on this new role.

“I just asked how you deal with difficult times,” he said. “And then they just tell me that you have to get your people together. And I just learn from them and try to apply it to them.”

Holloman played in all 35 games for the Spartans last season, starting twice. He averaged 5.7 points per game, 2.4 assists and 0.6 assists, and played an average of nearly 20 minutes per game.
