A New Rhythm: The Journey of Lexington's Ty Holmes

Holmes’s time at East Carolina was defined by a culture of winning. He played a key role in the team's back-to-back championships, a feat accomplished right after star running back Chris Johnson left for the NFL. "It was a wonderful time," he recalls, but the true highlight for him was playing against some of the best athletes in the country. He remembers competing against NFL stars such as Alshon Jeffery, Jadeveon Clowney, Tyrod Taylor, Ryan Mallett, Cam Chancellor, Ryan Williams, and Russell Wilson just to name a few. Holmes holds those experiences in high regard and extends his best wishes to all his former teammates and opponents.
