  Draft Scout by Conference









  For some athletes, seeing a daunting task ahead might send them in a different direction - perhaps down an easier path. But when Christian Holmes elected to leave Missouri as a graduate transfer, he looked at the pass-happy offenses of the Big 12 as a great obstacle for himself to prove his skills. And that's part of his reasoning for landing at Oklahoma State. "I think my mind was made up when I wanted to prove to myself to get more tape of my ability. The ball is thrown a lot in the Big 12," Holmes told the media prior to the season. ""… It is crazy to see the ball thrown around. This is the most I've seen the ball thrown around since I probably put on a helmet. It's crazy and it's fun. It's the way every corner dreams to do."

But there are a lot of defenses in the Big 12 that could have easily benefited from having an experience cornerback added to its roster. At Missouri, Holmes recorded 64 tackles and two interceptions in the previous two seasons before heading to Stillwater. So he could have contributed to any secondary in the Big 12. But it was Oklahoma State's recent success on the field that made it all that more appealing than any other football program. - Stillwater Press
