Meet The Team
Drew Holbrook
Bio Drew has been dishing out sports coverage for a decade, with a laser focus on the University of Kentucky’s Wildcats and the USMNT’s quest for soccer glory. A self-proclaimed soccer nut, he lives for the roar of the crowd and the thrill of a perfectly timed goal. When he’s not breaking down games or chasing scoops, Drew’s hanging with his family, diving into a good book, geeking out over psychology, or reflecting on his faith. With a knack for blending sharp analysis with a playful vibe, Drew brings the heat to every story he tells, keeping fans hooked and entertained, hopefully.

About FanSided
The idea of FanSided was born in 2007, when two brothers felt that their favorite team, the Kansas City Chiefs, was being under-covered by the mainstream media. Taking matters into their own hands, they launched Arrowhead Addict, a move that would spawn the creation of FanSided in 2009, a network of over 300+ fan-powered unique sports, entertainment and lifestyle sites dedicated to team-specific, sport-specific, genre-specific, and fanbase-specific coverage. From sports, movies and TV to lifestyle and tech, FanSided has you covered.
