As Chuba Hubbard reported two weeks ago, Missouri cornerback Christian Holmes is a Cowboy. Holmes, who was at Missouri for four years and is slated to graduate this spring, made the news official on Monday. He’ll have to finish out this semester at Mizzou, but as a grad transfer he’ll be eligible to play immediately.
This is big new considering he plugs the primary hole OSU has on defense, cornerback. With A.J. Green moving on to the pros, OSU is looking for somebody to cover ground opposite of Rodarius Williams.
While Thomas Harper was the presumed candidate to fill that role, Holmes is now probably the leading candidate.
