Tarrell M. Holmes

Northwest Junior Premier Football and Cheer’s Player of the Week is Tarrell M. Holmes from Team Blackout.

Tarrell is a 6th grade wide receiver/ running back for Team Blackout’s Junior team. He is not just a part of Team Blackout’s football family, but also our basketball and track programs. He came to us as an extremely shy kid, but through the love of his Grandmother and our organization, Tarrell has become confident, independent, reliable and a great inspiration to other kids in our program.

Outside of sports, Tarrell takes on the responsibility of school and helping his Grandma with day to day duties without complaining and always with a smile. He’s quick to ask anyone if they need help. He is very coachable and is becoming one of the great leaders on Team Blackout.

Tarrell is a dreamer, but he works hard for those dreams. He would like to be in the NFL, NBA, a Model, or/be a business owner. Still don’t just limit him to football and basketball….he also loves to play golf. In his free time, he likes to hang with friends and teammates or play on his Xbox One. We are very proud of Tarrell and are extremely lucky to have such a kind-hearted young man as part of the Team Blackout family.
