Tyrone Holmes has already received a long list of accolades for putting together one of the best defensive seasons in Montana history last season. As of Friday, he can add the crown jewel of FCS football awards to his list, the FCS Defensive Player of the Year Award.
Holmes was named the best defensive player in all of FCS football on the eve of the FCS National Championship game in Frisco, Texas, at an invite-only gala event where the FCS Offensive and Defensive Player of the Year award winners were announced.
