After joining the Seattle Seahawks this spring as an undrafted free agent, former Boise State running back George Holani helped his case for a roster spot on Saturday.

Holani rushed six times for 24 yards and a touchdown in his preseason debut with Seattle against the Los Angeles Chargers. Holani's 11-yard touchdown run came with just over 11 minutes remaining in the first half. Seattle went on to win that matchup 16-13.

George Holani for the score!

Holani was part of two Mountain West championship teams at Boise State, including 2023's title run under Spencer Danielson.
