WHAT'S YOUR CANES STORY? - EJ HOLLAND

What's Your Canes Story? — Season 2 Premiere Presented by U HeardSeason 2 is officially here, and we're kicking things off with one of the most recognizable names in recruiting coverage, EJ Holland of ON3.Today, EJ is one of the top recruiting analysts in the country. But before the rankings, commitments, and breaking news, he was just a kid from Brownsville, Texas who somehow fell in love with the Miami Hurricanes. And trust us—the reason why is probably not what you're expecting.EJ takes us back to his journey from South Texas to SMU, where he attended on a full scholarship and began building the foundation for what would become a successful career in recruiting journalism. While many students were focused on surviving college, EJ was balancing a demanding workload that included three jobs—some paid, some not—while maintaining at least a 3.3 GPA.It's a story of determination, sacrifice, and betting on yourself long before anyone else does.We talk about the early days of recruiting coverage, the lessons learned from grinding through college, and how a passion project turned into a profession. Along the way, you'll hear about the work ethic that fueled his rise, the importance of taking chances, and why success often comes disguised as long hours and unpaid opportunities.And because this is still a Canes show, we couldn't let him leave without discussing his love for Miami football, recruiting, and, of course, his completely rational and totally healthy dislike of Notre Dame. This episode is about chasing your dreams, embracing the grind, and proving that where you start doesn't determine where you'll end up.Season 2 starts now.🔗 Listen, Watch & Support U Heardhttps://linktr.ee/uheardpod🐦 X/Twitter: @UHeardPodcast📸 Instagram: @UHeardPodcast🎥 YouTube: U Heard Podcast#WhatsYourCanesStory #UHeard #GoCanes #TheU #MiamiHurricanes #CanesFam #EJHolland #ON3 #Recruiting #CollegeFootball #CanesRecruiting #BrownsvilleTexas #SMU #SportsMedia #HurricaneNation 🌪️🟧🟩
