STATESBORO, Ga. --- Sometimes, giving an opportunity a second chance in life may be the one that opens up the right door. For sophomore forward Ryan Holmes, giving America a second chance would be the best decision he would ever make.
A native of Milton Keynes, England, Holmes grew up in a tight household with his parents, Claire and Simon, and his lone brother, James. While he grew up in a close-knit and supportive household, he was met with a tough decision that nearly all children in England would be faced with: what football club to support.
