Holmes looks to be one of the top targets for many schools.
"I'm in contact with Alabama," the four-star junior said. "They haven't offered me yet but they seem to be coming after me pretty hard. Also, Virginia Tech, Virginia, Clemson and North Carolina are sending me a whole bunch of mail.
"I like Virginia and Virginia Tech because they're the home schools and I like both of their coaching staffs," explained Holmes. "I haven't gotten an offer from Alabama yet but I like them and their tradition. I like Clemson too and I had a good time on my visit down there."
Which school could pull the trigger next?
"South Carolina is sending me a lot of hand written stuff," Holmes said. "I like the way they use Jadeveon Clowney. I like the atmosphere when I watch their games."
Which schools does Holmes think he will visits?
"I haven't taken any visits yet but I think I'm going to the Virginia Tech and Virginia game on November 24th," he said. "I also want to visit North Carolina."
