David Ramsey – Priest Holmes son dominating in D-3
Publication: The Gazette
Date: November 11, 2015

College recruiters armed with scholarships missed one when they passed on Jekovan Holmes. He’s playing for non-scholarship D-3 Texas Lutheran. He’s dominating as a freshman with 14 touchdowns.

This should be no surprise. Jekovan is the son of former Ravens/Chiefs star Priest Holmes, who rushed for 8,172 yards and scored 94 touchdowns in his NFL career.
