Florida Tech’s Gary Holmes collected FIT’s first Special Teams award this season after sparking the Panthers’ 41-37 upset win at No. 5 Delta State.  The sophomore compiled 124 return yards on two attempts led by his 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.  Holmes opened the second half by extending FIT’s lead to 27-13 when he became the first-ever Florida Tech player to return a kickoff for a score.  The West Palm Beach, Fla. native is also the 15th player in GSC history to take back a kickoff 100 yards for a six points.
