Expert Analysis
Ed OBrien | Prep Redzone Scout
Holmes has carried the football 89 times for 580 yards and three touchdowns while sharing carries with Harrison O’Connell. He didn’t get many opportunities, but I think he’s underrated as a receiver out of the backfield. Holmes is shifty and hard to tackle in a 1-on-1 situation. I love his acceleration on short-to-intermediate runs.

He didn’t run a ton of yards, but this game didn’t need that. It was a game that featured a lot of ball control, and Holmes picked up 4-6-yard gains throughout. He was also featured in the short passing game, where he got the ball in space and made a few things happen. More importantly, he helped keep the chains moving in a game where every yard earned was important.

Azuriah has been an impactful piece to Calvert Hall’s offense this season and was a key player in their big win over McDonogh this past weekend. Azuriah was responsible for 2 of CH’s touchdowns in the 28-21 victory, and made many other big time plays in the game.
A tough downhill runner who fights for the extra yardage, displays rapid feet and has nice burst. Azuriah can stick his foot in the ground make defenders miss at the LOS, and then break outside with explosiveness for big gains. Azuriah is also a weapon as a receiver out the backfield as he showed in this past weekends games taking a 50+ yard screen pass all the way for a score.
A good overall athlete, Azuriah is also a high level lacrosse player and could even play both lax and football at the next level. He is a player that steps up to make impact plays for his team and should be getting many more college looks. Azuriah would be a steal for an FCS school looking for RB depth or multi-year contributor for a high end D2 program.
