Ron Holmes is Albany’s tackle-magnet linebacker and defensive tone-setter
In the 2024 season, Ron Holmes was Albany’s leading tackler with 88 stops, and preseason coverage for 2025 repeatedly framed him as the Great Danes’ defensive anchor. He’s a senior linebacker with a sturdy 6-foot, 225-pound frame, and the value goes beyond the box score: Holmes is trusted to clean up plays, stabilize the middle, and bring veteran presence to a defense that leans on him for consistency and toughness. If a team wants a reliable, physical, high-motor LB who shows up snap after snap, Holmes fits the bill.
