NAJEE HOLDER is the proud recipient of a full scholarship to the Alderson Broaddus University in West Virginia, United States.

The 18-year-old national football player was awarded the scholarship after attending a recruitment summer camp at the Missouri State University last July.

Over the one-week period Holder performed exceptionally well, being named the Most Valuable Player of the camp.

After the coaches at the university recognised his talent he was referred to another coach and a number of universities became interested in him. However, he selected the West Virginia University to undertake his four-year undergraduate programme.

Holder told the SATURDAY SUN he was satisfied with his achievement and was ready to pursue his dream of becoming a professional footballer.
