Former Notre Dame running back CJ Holmes is on the move again. Holmes played in three games for the Irish in 2017, recording 32 yards on eight carries. That winter he was charged with shoplifting and dismissed from the football program.
Holmes wound up at Penn State as a walk-on and played in their secondary in 2019 after having to sit out per NCAA rules in 2018. Holmes appeared in one game and recording a pair of tackles for the Nittany Lions.
Holmes has entered the transfer-portal again, joining former five-star running back Ricky Slade, and four-star defensive linemen Daniel Joseph and Damien Barber who have also entered the transfer portal this off-season.
If Holmes again has to sit out a season with this transfer he’ll have just one year of eligibility remaining at whatever school he ends up at.
Holmes was recruited to Notre Dame as a four-star all-purpose-back in the 2017 recruiting class that was ranked 10th nationally by the 247Sports Composite rankings.
