Originally from Danville, Calif., Holz earned a bachelor’s degree in communications from the University of Colorado where he was a three-year letterwinner as a wide receiver and holder.
Holz will work closely with Jaguars offensive coordinator Press Taylor, who also happens to be his longtime friend.
