Long, physical SMU corner with early-play upside
Holiday is a 6'1" SMU corner who already showed freshman-year utility in 2025, appearing in 11 games and finishing with six tackles and a pass breakup, while his recruiting profile and high school tape point to length, physicality, and ball skills as his calling cards. His EA Sports rating profile also reflects above-average speed, acceleration, man coverage and zone coverage traits, suggesting a developmental CB who can fit a modern, flexible secondary if he keeps sharpening awareness and consistency. He’s the kind of prospect worth tracking if you want a boundary defender with upside, not just a box-score streamer.
