Following multiple injuries to multiple running backs last season he was forced into a more extended role with 56 carries totaling 254 yards rushing.

Holmes was a four-star recruit coming out of high school in Florida, per the On3 Consensus. He was recruited and offered by the likes of Ohio State, Florida and Miami, among others, meaning he’ll have no shortage of offers coming his way once teams begin reaching out.

Penn State head coach James Franklin spoke about the pair with members of the media.

“They’ve been really good, really both of them,” James Franklin said. “Obviously, there’s been lots of conversations about Nick Singleton. But, him and Kaytron, there’s a buzz within our program about those two guys and what they’re doing.”
