USU student, football player Brady Holt critically injured in rollover

Utah State University student Brady Holt, 21, a freshman on the football team, suffered critical injuries Saturday afternoon after a rollover crash on I-15 near Willard.

Holt, a 6-foot-7, 230-pound defensive end from Riverton, was ejected from his car after he drifted into some wooden spools in a construction zone, and then overcorrected, rolling his vehicle. He was flown to Ogden Regional Hospital in critical condition following the accident.

Utah State’s Athletic Department has not yet released anymore information about Holt or his injuries.

Holt’s mother, Christy Holt, announced to friends and familiy via Facebook that Brady has been unconscious since Saturday. According to a public update group created on Facebook for those following his condition.

“Thank you to all those who have reached out to us,” Christy Holt said. “He is in the biggest fight of his life.”

“Our thoughts and prayers go out to freshman defensive end Brady Holt, who was injured in a car accident this past Saturday,” said the USU football team via Twitter Monday morning.
