Skinny: Grant is a strong defensive tackle with a low center of gravity who excels against the run. He describes his play as “quick and aggressive”. He’ll camp at Penn State for the third time and will also attend Iowa’s camp.
“I’ve loved Penn State since I was very young,” he said. “Iowa and Boston College sends a lot of mail and I’d like to learn more about them. Notre Dame is Notre Dame and I like Michigan State because former teammate Michael Bazemore plays there. Finally, Florida State always has a strong team.”
Grant said if Penn State were to offer him a scholarship, he’d likely commit but until that happens he’ll keep all his options open. Iowa and Boston College are recruiting him the hardest.
