Florida State has added Penn State transfer running back Caziah Holmes, a school spokesperson confirmed on Monday night.

The 5-foot-11, 190-pound tailback from Cocoa (Fla.) was a four-star prospect in the class of 2020. He was pushed down the depth chart at Penn State.

Holmes had just five carries for 27 yards in 2021. He had 51 carries for 227 yards (4.5-yard average) and two touchdowns in 2020.

"Extremely high character kid," Cocoa coach Ryan Schneider told The Osceola. "Real high academic. Just a kid that worked his butt off. Has a good head on him. Understands his goal and reaching things on and off the field."

Schneider said Holmes was a team captan and a member of the student council in high school. He also felt it was important for Holmes to get back closer to home after he opted to transfer from Penn State on Aug. 15.

Holmes will be able to practice with the Seminoles in 2022 but his late arrival means he will not be able to play in games this fall.
