What draft pick Omar Holness means for RSL

Omar Holness is an impressive combination of size, nibble of feet, and downright speed. The Jamaican international is another one of those "Swiss army-knife" kind of players that Jeff Cassar and Craig Wiabel seem to covet. With questions about Holness’ best position, professionally, he demonstrates incredible athleticism that can provide Cassar and Co. just the right amount of flexibility.

Holness spent the last three years with the North Carolina Tarheels. As a freshman, he was neamed to the ACC All-Freshman team as well as the Soccer America All-Freshman team. Holness made 20 appearances, scoring two goals and tallying three assists.
