After playing for the Buckeyes from 2014-17, Holmes is entering his first NFL season with the Minnesota Vikings, who selected him in the fourth round of April's NFL draft.

Holmes played primarily on the outside of Ohio State's defensive line, but also worked as an interior pass-rusher in the Buckeyes' "Rushmen" package, and has moved to defensive tackle with the Vikings.
