Future weighs heavily on Holmes’ mind

TEMPE, Ariz. — Ohio State junior wide receiver Santonio Holmes said on Thursday that he has not decided yet if he will make himself eligible for the NFL draft.

But probably a poor review of his draft chances by NFL scouts is the only compelling reason the Buckeyes’ top passer catcher could find to return. He was red-shirted as a freshman, so he has already spent four years in Columbus.

He has two children with his girlfriend and was raised by his mother in a small two-bedroom home.

All of those factors will enter into his thinking.

“It’s going to be sometime after (the Fiesta Bowl),” Holmes said. “I want to just think the whole thing through, evaluate the situation and don’t jump out there too fast.

“I really would like to take care of my family, my mom. A lot is weighing on my shoulders right now. How am I going to help change my mom’s life, how can I make things better for her?”

Holmes has 48 catches for 853 yards and 10 touchdowns this season.

Holmes is a great "passer cacther." I cant believe he actually wrote passer.

Is there any decision on Holmes staying or going to the NFL? I heard he would let folks know after the Fiesta Bowl.

How about that 85 yard touchdown? Who cares about the penalty...it only cost us 5 yards because Huston has the biggest leg in college football. Well worth it for the #1 sign! What a great career at Ohio State. Would love to have him back, but if not, then it was quite a pleasure watching one of the best receivers in Buckeye history!

How many people believed that Mike Doss would leave before his senior season? Was that a surprise move and do you think it could set the tone for Holmes to come back? I would love to hear "I'm coming back to win a National Title" come out of his mouth....

 

[Moose]

That would be my thought as well. I hope Holmes comes back to win a National Championship for the bucks. Time will tell.

IMO he is gone...he has done his time and for that i am grateful but he has a family to support it is the right decision for him

I should have said this originally in my post. i think he is gone also, i was just wondering if Doss made a surprise announcement to come back or if many people thought he would be back.

Well on the Buckeye Blitz Tressel just said Santonio is gone and should be a first rounder.

 

[OSUBasketballJunkie]

Apparently, he has told the media at the Fiesta Bowl he will declare for the draft.

Thanks for the memories Santonio. You will be missed next year.

another vote for he's gone... it's his time and he's got a family to support. I'd love to see him stay but I think he goes.
