2029 WR Elijah Holmes Elijah Holmes 5'7" | 140 lbs | WR Byrd | 2029 WV stepped onto the varsity field at Robert C. Byrd as a freshman and looked comfortable contributing right away, which is usually the first sign of a young playmaker worth tracking. The 2029 receiver brings a multi-sport background that includes standout basketball ability, and that shows up in the way he moves in space and competes for the football. He projects naturally as a slot target with the kind of quickness and vision that can create yards after the catch, and he has the type of skill set that offensive staffs enjoy building packages around. For a player this early in his career, the focus now becomes physical development and continuing to refine the details of the position while gaining experience against varsity competition. If Holmes keeps stacking progress the way he did in his first season, he has the potential to grow into one of the more dynamic offensive weapons in the 2029 class over the next few years.
