https://youtu.be/GiakVAPnC2w https://youtu.be/CF2ANr0ySME Just got done watching these highlight videos of Darnay Holmes and wow. I've always seen him listed as a cb but the kid has skills on offense that could make him a 4 or 5 star wr easily. You always see good athletes playing both sides of the ball but he's a legit 2 way, actually 3 when you see his return skills, player. On defense he has a tremendous nose for the ball and has no fear or hesitation to deliver big hits. If the qb isn't spot on with his throws he's going to pay for it. On offense I'd compare his athletic abilities even to Tyjon Lindsey. He's that electric with the ball in his hands. I see his "top 3" right now is UCLA, USC and tOSU. I see UCLA wasting his talents and never fully developing his skills to their full potential. USC on the other hand I could see using him like Adoree Jackson in all 3 facets of the game. With OSU I see him as the next Bradley Roby. He's got the same body size and build. He also has Roby's physicality and ball awareness. I hope he picks the good guys but it's all in what he wants to do. We probably won't use him on offense so if that's his preference then he'll probably chose USC. If he wants to get NFL level coaching and be on the fast track to the next level, he probably comes here. However he chooses I'll be watching whoever he plays for to see what he can do at the next level.
