You’ll notice that if you click our projected depth chart link above, you’ll see we had Holmes in the three-deep nearly two weeks ago.

Holmes was a starting senior cornerback for the Pokes, opposite Rodarius Williams, this past season. He recorded 24 total tackles, 18 of which were solo stops, three tackles for loss and six pass break-ups.

Holmes coming back gives the Pokes and Tim Duffie a huge boost going into the offseason and spring football. It will certainly help ease the blow of Rodarius Williams heading to the NFL.
