Jordan Holmes is a massive 6’1″, 290-pound DL from Carroll HS out of Monroe, Louisiana, who boasts a 3.5 GPA. The 4-year varsity letterman had already earned the respect of his teammates and coaches, which is why he was named a captain going into the season, but his dominance all fall allowed him to be recognized throughout the state. He was an absolute force to be reckoned with on the defensive line and was named second-team all-state and first-team all-district. His recruitment hasn’t quite taken off the way he wanted, but his passion for the game, combined with his skill set, makes him a great addition wherever he ends up.
