Watch: Holton Ahlers putting on those moves like he’s always done

by | Mar 17, 2025

The Arlington Renegades continued to practice for the start of the UFL season. On Sunday, we saw a familiar face doing what we’ve seen him do many times before.

ECU alum and Pirate Radio host Holton Ahlers rushed for a touchdown in Sunday’s practice. The feat was captured on the Arlington Renegades X page.

On Saturday, UFL reporter James Baker captured Ahlers doing the same thing not once but twice during practice.

Ahlers also had some nice passes in Saturday’s practice.

Of course, we’ve seen him do this since he was in high school at D.H. Conley and in games while at ECU.

Some things never change. And he’s definitely not lost a step.
