2027 Buckhorn DB Bramlett Holmes flashed several traits that make him an intriguing defensive back prospect. Holmes possesses quality length at 6’0, with a frame that still has room for further development. He was at his best in press coverage, using his physicality to jam receivers at the line and disrupt routes before they could develop. While his testing numbers may not have jumped off the page, his play speed was noticeably better during the 1-on-1 period, particularly when asked to carry receivers downfield. His long frame created challenges for pass catchers throughout the day, and he showed the recovery speed to close ground if a receiver initially gained a step. Holmes also did a nice job locating the football and getting his head around at the catch point, flashing the tools and upside worth monitoring moving forward.

Bramlett Holmes-Travers is another talented player from Buckhorn who impressed us this past season.

“Holmes-Travers is an impressive coverage DB who has a knack for getting his hands on the ball. He’s quick, highly reactive, doesn’t let guys burn him downfield, and has fantastic timing and ball skills he uses to fly in and break up/pick off passes. It’s rare to see an opposing receiver find any sort of success against Holmes-Travers- he’s a really tough matchup out wide.

On top of that, Travers plays with a ton of effort and intensity which helps a ton defending the run. He never goes under 100%, and will fly in from the secondary to provide huge hits and stops down near the line of scrimmage, always making his impact felt.”

Holmes-Travers has provided a ton of skill and talent to Buckhorn’s secondary. See for yourself in his film below:
