Breaking:4-star running back Caziah Holmes shocks fans ,commits to penn state over Florida state
At a ceremony at his high school on Friday night, four-star running back Caziah Holmes of Cocoa, Florida, chose the Lions over Florida State and other teams. This cycle, the first tailback to be selected by the team is the 5-foot-11, 180-pound senior prospect. Second-year running backs coach Ja’Juan Seider, who has been a successful recruiter of Sunshine State talent, has won another game.
According to a review by 247Sports, it “has a relatively wide bodied upper body with no undesirable weight and substantial room for extra heft.” “Over the past year, it has gradually gained mass. He ought to keep gaining size after enrolling in a collegiate strength program.
For one of Florida’s best high school programs, he is a big play danger. “Tests as one of the more athletic running backs in the 2020 cycle with high end long speed and explosive. Backs up the speed on the track, routinely running sub-11.0 second 100 meter times.”
According to the 247Sports Composite rankings, Holmes is the sixth-best all-purpose back. After receiving an invitation from the Lions in February, he made an official visit to Penn State in June. Earlier this year, he ran a 40-yard sprint in 4.49 seconds, earning him the titles of running back MVP and fastest man at The Opening Regional stop in Orlando.
Before making his decision public, Holmes told Lions247, “Coach Seider and I chat all the time.” “He is the most grounded coach I have ever spoken to, and he genuinely cares about his players.”
He declared, “I love to compete and I enjoy competition.” “You will have to compete wherever you go, so I do not worry about competition since it is what makes me who I am as a player.”
According to head coach James Franklin, Penn State may select up to 30 players during this cycle, and it probably will not be at the running back position. Prior to his announcement on August 26, Keyvone Lee, another four-star back from Florida, has the Lions.
