Report:  Holmes ended the year with 78 tackles, 4 INTs, and a pair of forced fumbles.  After the season, he was named first team all-district.

Holmes is simply an athlete.  He'll likely play in the secondary at Iowa State, but he plays many positions with La Porte.  On offense, I've seen him play running back, wide receiver, been used in sweeps, wildcat QB, and even returns kicks while playing everywhere in the secondary.  On video, Holmes displays a knack for finding the ball, whether it is deflecting passes or coming up with an interception, with the help of great closing speed.  Also, he is a textbook tackler, wrapping up the players' legs and bringing them down.  Overall, a very underrated player and should receive more attention this fall.
