Expert Analysis
William Donoghue | Prep Redzone Scout
Evaluation: A dynamic two-way player as a receiver and corner. On offense, he gets a nice release off the line, allowing him to separate. He is a deep-ball threat who brings play speed by using his catch radius to make tough plays. He needs to be willing to spring a block on the perimeter to increase his play style. Holmes is a solid route runner who exploits soft spots in zone coverage. On defense, he is very instinctive in route recognition. Closes in on the ball carrier rapidly with a sharp tackling angle. Holmes is never afraid to stick his nose in and make a tackle. Very physical in man coverage by stalemating the receivers at the line of scrimmage. However, he needs to work on his ball skills to make plays.
