For possessing a stolen vehicle in excess of $25k worth.

Says he bought the car in Atlanta recently, so guess we'll get to the bottom of this one soon. For his sake I hope he did buy it without knowledge of it being stolen. Hard to imagine someone probably making a decent NIL deal at Tulane would actually steal a vehicle

This sounds like he got caught up in a bad deal.

Dude has been playing college football for years. What is he up to? School #5 now?

Hope so, it would look fishy if he bought a $25k+ vehicle for like $5k or less though. Will be interesting to see what happened here.

If Tulane rescinds his scholarship, where do you think he would play in 2026?

Being at 6 different NCAA schools must be a record, right?

He bought a stolen car, but attached a fake plate registered to another car of his. Any argument that he lacked knowledge that it was stolen goes out the window.

The university in the town next door to where he grew up could use a QB.

I could see it…

Guy gets a car for NIL… if he sucks, report it “stolen”

So years ago there may have been a player who committed to Tulane and showed up to high school in a new car.....he didn't have the grades to get in and after that the new car 'disappeared'.

He’ll transfer from that car to a 2012 Scion.

Holmes probably didn't know to make sure to get a "CLEAR" Title and a Bill of Sale.


He needs to watch Judge Judy more

I remember him playing well in first start for LSU long ago and sounding very mature in post game interview.

I wonder if he may have fared better in old system of waiting your turn for 2-3 years and become starter for last 2 years.

I guess the statute of limitations has expired now but TJ Finley was running a PS5 scam at LSU back in late 2020
