Reliable inline blocker who can chip in as a sneaky-catch tight end
Holmes stands out more for **dependability and physicality** than splash plays: in 2024 at Marshall, he appeared in 13 games and was primarily used as a key run-game blocker, while earlier at Kent State he logged 20 catches for 188 yards in 2023, showing he can contribute as a receiver when asked. At 6-foot-0 and 241 pounds, he profiles as a tough, versatile tight end with a team-first edge—good fit for a staff that values blocking, assignment discipline, and low-maintenance reliability over pure receiving volume.
