Out of Zachary (Louisiana) High School, Holstein was a sought-after recruit. On the 247Sports Composite, Holstein was rated 4-stars, the No. 5 player in the state of Louisiana, No. 8 quarterback and No. 88 prospect overall in the Class of 2023. Holstein chose Alabama over offers from 23 other schools, including Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, LSU and Texas A&M.
Holstein, listed at 6-4, 237 pounds, was part of a Crimson Tide quarterback room that featured five scholarship players as UA figured out the post-Bryce Young era. He departs Tuscaloosa without logging any game time after serving on the scout team.
After taking a redshirt for 2023, Holstein arrives at Pitt with four full seasons of remaining eligibility. The Panthers went 3-9 in 2023 and look to bounce back in 2024, opening the season against Kent State on Aug. 31.
