A former Alabama four-star recruit who found his footing at Oregon and went undrafted before landing with Dallas.
Traeshon Holden is a wide receiver who signed with the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent in 2025, reuniting with his college position coach in Dallas. The Kissimmee, Florida native began his career at Alabama as a highly touted four-star recruit before transferring to Oregon, where he became a steady contributor over two seasons.
Path to the league
Holden played three seasons at Alabama from 2020 to 2022, catching 46 passes for 570 yards and seven touchdowns, including six touchdowns in his final Crimson Tide season. He transferred to Oregon in December 2022 and played two seasons there, finishing with 82 receptions for 1,170 yards and 11 touchdowns across his two years as a Duck.
Career highlights
At Oregon, Holden was a key contributor to Pac-12 title and Fiesta Bowl appearances, and he caught six receptions for 28 yards in the 2022 College Football Playoff National Championship while still at Alabama. Despite that resume, he went undrafted in the 2025 NFL Draft and signed with the Dallas Cowboys for a modest signing bonus, a snub he called disrespectful.
2025 season recap
Holden spent his rookie season working to earn a spot in Dallas' receiver room, reuniting with former Oregon wide receivers coach Junior Adams on the Cowboys' staff. He signed a reserve/future contract with Dallas in January 2026, keeping him in the mix for a roster spot.
