Priest Holmes – 2/28/09
Priest Holmes was born in Fort Smith, Arkansas and raised in San Antonio, Texas. Holmes played football at John Marshall High School, where he led his school to the state championship game. After graduating from high school in 1992, he attended the University of Texas at Austin.
In 1997 his NFL career took him to Baltimore where he played for the Ravens, earning a ring in Super Bowl XXXV. In 2001, he joined the Kansas City Chiefs where he set team records in career rushing attempts, career rushing yards, career rushing touchdowns, and total touchdowns.
In 2007, his legendary collegiate and post-collegiate accomplishments were commemorated with an induction into the UT Longhorn Hall of Honor in Austin and the Texas High School Hall of Fame in Waco, Texas.
Since retiring from the NFL, Priest is once again calling San Antonio his home and has become one of the city’s most active philanthropists.
The Priest Holmes Foundation is a recognized 501(C) (3) organization, which is committed to encouraging education and enhancing the lives of children in our community.
Through comprehensive programs and scholarships the foundation will help lay the groundwork for students to achieve brighter and more prosperous futures.
