Khaled Holmes, Mater Dei’s 6-foot-5, 290-pound senior offensive lineman, is one of the best uncommitted football prospects in the state. He said he’s trying to decide between USC, where his brother, Alex, was a standout tight end, and California.

Holmes attended USC’s game Saturday night against Washington State with Mater Dei junior quarterback Matt Barkley. Holmes said USC remains the leader but he wants to make sure he makes the right decision, which should be applauded considering some of these high school players commit so quickly they really didn’t take the time to understand the ramifications and consequences. ‘I just don’t want to be one of those guys who regrets the decision,’ Holmes said. Well put.
