 Techniques and Moves
Holmes stays low and fires off the ball, getting a great jump on any OL. He uses his hands well to shed blockers. After that Holmes is chasing, whether it’s the quarterback or running back he will get after it. Holmes has speed. He is a good pass rusher and run stopper. He holds contain against the run and will make the play. When the play goes the other way Holmes is very effective in pursuit and moves very well down the line.


Biography:
Finished the 2006 season with 72 tackles, 14 sacks and recovered two fumbles from his defensive end spot. Also chipped in 25 receptions for 396 yards and one touchdown. Was named all-CIF at both tight end and defensive line.
