DeeJay Holmes Jr. brings size, edge versatility, and untapped upside to Ole Miss
Holmes is a 6'0", 245-pound edge defender for Ole Miss whose 2025 stat line was modest, with 2 solo tackles and no sacks, but his value is in his physical frame and position flexibility that can fit multiple front looks.[3][1] He was a high-impact high school defender at Pahokee, where he was recognized as a county defensive standout and posted 92 tackles in 2021, suggesting a player with proven tackling ability and run support instincts.[5] For a team, he looks like a depth-and-development fit rather than an immediate star.
