In 2012, he started all 19 of UCLA's matches, led the team with 22 points (7 goals, 8 assists), and finished the season tied for the team lead in goals. Hollingshead also captained the Bruins to a 13–3–3 record and finished second in the Pac-12 with 8 assists for the year.[2]
Professional
editFC Dallas selected Hollingshead in the second round (20th overall) of the 2013 MLS SuperDraft. Despite an offer from Dallas, Hollingshead opted not to accept, so that he could help his brother build a church in Sacramento and spend time in Haiti doing charity work at an orphanage.[3][4]
Hollingshead signed with Dallas on December 9, 2013.[5] Over the next few seasons, he established himself as a player who could play multiple positions, mostly as a fullback or wing on either side.
On January 6, 2017, while stopping to help a stranded motorist, Hollingshead was struck by a motor vehicle that had crashed due to icy conditions, launching him 30 feet (9.1 m) into the air.[6] He sustained three broken vertebrae in his neck as a result of the collision.[7] The injuries forced him to miss the start of the 2017 season. After the season, he was recognized as the MLS WORKS Humanitarian of the Year.[4]
On February 10, 2022, Hollingshead was acquired by Los Angeles FC from FC Dallas in exchange for Marco Farfan.[8]
