Mike Holmes brings steady, versatile safety play for Syracuse
Holmes profiles as a dependable, all-purpose defensive back for Syracuse: in the 2010 season, he posted 45 tackles, 5 passes defended, and 1 interception, with enough ball disruption to show real coverage value. He also stood out as a quiet, humble, “Mr. Consistent” type and added return-game value over his career, which helps explain why coaches trusted him in multiple roles. He fits best for a team that values reliability, versatility, and a low-mistake defender who can handle both safety duties and special teams impact.[1][6][7]
