Florida Atlantic receiver DeSean Holmes was always expected to have an immediate impact once he arrived last spring.

Because of injuries, Holmes has been given more opportunity to prove himself the first three days of training camp. On Sunday, the Owls were without receivers Jovon Durante, Willie Wright, Pico Harrison and DeAndre McNeal because of undisclosed injuries.

Holmes, a junior-college transfer, said the additional reps have helped him to learn the offensive tendencies quicker.
