CLINTON, Miss. --- Spring sports seniors across the nation had their collegiate careers cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

A time-honored tradition across all athletic departments is to celebrate "Senior Day" by recognizing each of the members of their senior class for their efforts while a part of their program.

At Mississippi College, we wanted to let each one of our spring sports student-athletes have their own "Senior Day" to thank them for their time as Choctaws and Lady Choctaws. Their contributions to their teams and the athletic department will always be remembered.

GARRETT HOLLINGHEAD --- BASEBALL

A native of Mobile, Ala., Garrett Hollinghead made his way to Mississippi College after transferring from Lurleen B. Wallace Community College.

"Garrett has been a strong competitor and an important weekend starter for us the past few seasons," said head coach Jeremy Haworth. "He has picked up some really big wins for us along the way and we will miss seeing him on the mound. We want to thank Garrett for his commitment to the University and to the baseball program."

Hollinghead drew 13 starts for the Choctaws during his time on the mound while playing in 20 contests. He posted a record of 6-2 on the bump and added one save. He recorded 77 strikeouts during his two seasons on the hill in the Navy and Gold. Hollinghead was named to the Gulf South Conference Academic Honor Roll in 2019.

The Business Administration major is the son of Christy and Paul Hollinghead.
