About Holmes Jr. Updated Aug 8, 2026

A.J. Holmes Jr. is Texas Tech’s disruptive, high-motor interior anchor

Holmes is coming off a strong 2025 at Texas Tech, finishing with 38 tackles, 9.0 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, a forced fumble, two fumble recoveries, and four pass breakups, production that earned him national attention as one of the Big 12’s top interior defensive linemen. He stands out for his blend of run-stopping strength, backfield disruption, and relentless effort, with PFF ranking him among the best interior DLs nationally and calling him a major 2026 impact player. If you need a physical, versatile DL who can hold up against the run and still rush the passer, he fits the bill.[1][4]
