2023 EDGE DeeJay Holmes commits to Ole Miss

Pahokee (Fla.) three-star EDGE DeeJay Holmes has committed to Ole Miss.

Holmes is the No. 997 overall prospect and No. 83 EDGE in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 140 player in Florida.

On3 rates Holmes higher than other recruiting services, according to the Industry Comparison. He is not in the 2023 On300, but he is ranked as the No. 51 EDGE and No. 62 player in Florida.

Holmes currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $5.9K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

DeeJay Holmes Scouting Summary

Ultra-productive edge rusher for state regional finalists Pahokee (FL) whose get off is unmatched by almost anyone in the country. Totaled 92 tackles and made an absurd number of plays behind the line of scrimmage with 25.5 tackles for loss and 19.5 sacks as a junior. Insane first step off the line of scrimmage. Convert speed to power with ease. Not scared to bull rush despite lack of ideal size and length. Solid against the run, better chaser than stuffer. Needs to develop hand usage and pass rush arsenal. Frame is more of an off-ball backer build but can still be effective off the edge at the college level. Late-round NFL projection due to size but has all the athletic ability in the world to be a terror at the college level.
