West-coast native Dallas Holliday makes his debut with the Bay Area Panthers for the 2025 Indoor Football League campaign. The 6-foot-3 offensive lineman brings prior IFL experience and is eager to make a difference in new surroundings.
In 2024, Holliday joined the IFL just over midway through the season via the Northern Arizona Wranglers. With NAZ, he worked with now-Panthers offensive coordinator Rod Windsor, and that familiarity should pay dividends going forward.
Prior to playing professionally, Holliday competed for Portland State University (2023) and Boise State University (2019-2022).
Holliday participated as a graduate-transfer at Portland State. He made 10 appearances—all starts—for a Vikings team that went 5-6.
Notably, Holliday’s collegiate career began at Boise State, where he logged four years of FBS experience. He played in 34 total games for the Broncos. In addition to contributing along the offensive line, he also saw time on special teams.
Holliday’s first season at BSU, 2019, ended in a Mountain West Conference title. For his final contest with the Broncos, he helped notch a win over North Texas in the 2022 Frisco Bowl. He also graduated from Boise State in 2022 with a degree in Media Arts.
As a Los Angeleno, Holliday grew up in Sherman Oaks, CA. For prep, he attended nearby Oaks Christian School where he dominated both sides of the trenches. As a senior, he powered the Lions to a 12-3 record alongside future NFLers Kayvon Thibodeaux and Zach Charbonnet.
Panthers Head Coach Rob Keefe is overjoyed to have Holliday come aboard in Northern California. “Dallas is a powerful, competitive offensive lineman with the foot quickness and hand strength to lock down would-be edge rushers,” Coach Keefe elaborated.
When Holliday ’s not playing football, he works in digital marketing and athletic training. He enjoys spending his free time by hiking, writing or editing videos.
