  When East Carolina quarterback Holton Ahlers arrived on the campus of East Carolina, the Greenville native knew that there would be some amount of pressure placed on a local kid playing the most important position in town. He was right. He was also ready. "I knew when I committed here when I was 17 years old, I knew there was gonna be a lot of pressure here," Ahlers said at the American Athletic Conference media day on Thursday. "But you know, I wanted it to be on me and no one else." Ahlers, entering his fifth and final season with the Pirates, helped guide ECU to its first winning season and a bowl berth since 2014.

The season was also the first winning season for Ahlers since being in high school at D.H. Conley. Now, in his final season, Ahlers hopes he can harness that pressure and turn it into a successful season. "Coach (Mike) Houston came in and has developed a great culture here, a great team culture," Ahlers said. "It's been really good to be a part of it. This year, this is the best team overall that we've had. We just have to go out there and play the way that we know we can play and the rest will take care of itself. "For it being my last year, I am going to enjoy it as much as I can and just really appreciate that there's going to be a lot of lasts for me this year. So I'm just enjoying it. It starts with camp and just getting the team as close as we can be to being ready for that first game and then going out there and playing good the whole season." - Daily Reflector
