Fox and Holliday Land on National Fab 50 List

FULTON, Miss. - The nationally-ranked Indians' freshman class just picked up national attention, and it is easy to see why.

Kyler Fox and Tim Holliday were both included in the initial release of the 2026 Fab 50 JUCO Freshmen list by JucoRecruiting.com, a national recognition piece that highlights top first-year junior college players across the country.

The honor also carries a major opportunity.

All players named to the Fab 50 list will receive official invitations to the All-American JUCO Showcase Invitational in Atlanta, Ga., on July 11-12. JucoRecruiting.com is the official scouting and media partner of the event, which is billed as a top invite-only JUCO showcase during the July live period and regularly draws more than 300 college coaches. The July event is for the top 2027 JUCO prospects in the country.

For No. 25 ICC, the recognition reflects the impact of two freshmen who have already delivered in very different ways.

Fox, a 6-foot-8 forward, has been a force around the rim and on the glass. He is averaging 7.5 points and 7.9 rebounds in 21.6 minutes per game while shooting an elite 71.3 percent from the floor. He has also anchored the paint defensively with 63 blocked shots, averaging 2.2 blocks per game.

His stat line jumps off the page. Fox has pulled down 217 total rebounds, including 86 offensive boards, and has consistently changed games with second-chance effort and rim protection.

Holliday, a 6-foot-3 guard, has given the Indians a major scoring punch and one of the most dangerous perimeter threats in the league. He is averaging 13.9 points in 22.4 minutes per game while shooting 46.6 percent from the field, 39.0 percent from three and 83.0 percent from the free-throw line.

He has knocked down 62 three-pointers and scored 383 total points this season, giving ICC a reliable shot-maker who can flip momentum in a hurry.

Holliday's season resume got even louder on Jan. 13 when he earned MACCC Men's Basketball Player of the Week honors after a pair of record-breaking performance. In a 90-71 win over Tennessee Valley, Holliday erupted for a modern-era program record 44 points. He also buried nine three-pointers in the win, setting another modern-era ICC record for made threes in a game.

He followed that performance in a 102-71 win over East Mississippi, where ICC set a modern-era team record with 14 made three-pointers. Holliday led the charge again with six made threes, tying for the third-most in a game in modern program history.

The No. 25 Indians won its first MACCC championship since 2013-14 and will carry the No. 1 seed into the NJCAA Region 23 Tournament.
