Jarad Hollis is in his second season as a graduate student manager in 2024-25 after serving four seasons (2019-23) as the head manager at North Texas.
Hollis returns to the staff after helping the Wildcats post a 19-15 overall record, including an 8-10 mark in the new 14-team Big 12, in 2023-24. Among the 19 wins were 10 over teams that advanced to the postseason, including Top 25 wins over No. 9/9 Baylor, No. 4/4 Kansas, No. 25/21 BYU and No. 6/6 Iowa State.
During Hollis’ time at UNT, the Mean Green enjoyed one of the greatest stretches in school history, totaling 94 victories to go along with one NIT Championship (2023), one NCAA Tournament appearance (2021), two NIT appearances (2022, 2023), two Conference USA regular-season championships (2020 and 2022) and one C-USA Tournament title (2021). In all, the squad compiled a 94-35 (.729) overall record, including a 55-15 (.786) mark in league action.
Hollis was part of some of the school’s greatest moments, including the first-ever C-USA regular-season championship in 2020, the historic overtime 78-69 victory over fourth-seeded Purdue in the 2021 NCAA Tournament as well as the school-record 31-7 record and first-ever NIT Championship in 2022-23.
The Monroe, La., native also spent time at Navarro College, where he earned an associate degree in general studies in 2019.
Hollis earned a bachelor's degree in kinesiology from North Texas in 2023. He is working towards a master’s in counseling and student development at K-State.
Hollis and his wife Tyra were married in August 2024.
