Jekovan Holmes TLU Newcomer of the Year

Publication: SCAC Sports
Date: November 23, 2015

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. – Jekovan Holmes of Texas Lutheran University was named SCAC Newcomer-of-the-Year after his strong start to his collegiate career.

Holmes, a 6-0, 186-pound freshman receiver from San Antonio, Texas, led the SCAC in both receptions (45) and touchdown receptions (14) and was second in both receiving yards (646) and receiving yards per game (64.6). He is the first freshman since 1995 (Wes Ingram of Millsaps) and just the second in the SCAC era to lead the league in receptions and his 14 TD catches are the fifth-most in a single-season in league history. Holmes had at least one TD catch in every game he played this season – with the exception of the Bulldogs’ season finale against Southwestern – and had two games where he had three TD receptions, including a nine-catch, 78-yard performance in a Week 5 homecoming win against Howard Payne University where he was named SCAC Offensive Player-of-the-Week.
