HARD-RUNNING Carlton wingman Ollie Hollands has been rewarded for his fine season with the round 21 AFL Rising Star nomination.

Hollands gathered 20 disposals and had six tackles and four marks in the Blues' 19-point win over St Kilda on Sunday.

Pick No.11 in the 2022 AFL Draft, Hollands played the first 11 games of the season before suffering a fractured collarbone.

He returned in round 19 and has continued what has been a strong first season in the AFL.

Hollands is averaging 15.4 disposals, 3.3 marks and 2.2 tackles this year.

He is Carlton's first Rising Star nominee of the season.
