USC’s Khaled Holmes is one of the top Centers in the nation. The 6-3, 302 Senior started the last 2 years in the middle of USC’s line. He started at OG back in 2010. Holmes suffered a pectoral injury at the Combine and that limited what he could do in Indy. He had a lower leg injury during the season caused him to miss the Stanford game and struggle in some others.
The Eagles have a campus workout scheduled with Holmes on Friday. He would offer depth at C and G. Holmes does have 35-inch long arms. Coach Chip Kelly likes players with good length. Kelly also knows about Holmes after facing him the last 3 years in the USC/Oregon rivalry.
Yours truly did talk about the need for a backup C. Just sayin’..
He also wears thigh-high socks because he has length, a correllary of the Tuck rule.
I read he would have to stick to guard in the nfl cause he gets pushed around too much. Thoughts? Will the Eagles run a zone scheme next year?
