Grant wrapped up his junior season with 154 tackles on his way to first team all-state honors.

"I played well," he said. "It was good, not great. I've just got to keep working.

"I think my agility and strength really improved this year. I still want to work on my speed a bit more. Those are the three factors I'm trying to improve on every year."

I saw alot of kids play this year in the Richmond area and this kid was by far the best LB prospect i saw. Kid has great closing spead and reads very well. He has the size and athleticism to play big time D1 football.

This kid is a beast ! Come to Richmond CDD and check him out. While your in the area stop at some of the other high schools that VT taps into to get their players. Then swing over to the 757 and grab some of them.

As a junior, Grant racked up an impressive 154 tackles and five sacks. He models his game after some of the best to play the linebacker position.

"I have four linebackers that I look up to," Grant said. "The first one is Ray Lewis, then James Harrison, Patrick Willis and DeMarcus Ware. I watch them play and I want to bring the pain like they do."

"I got offers from Southern Cal, Nebraska and Tennessee," he said. "Tennessee was a couple days ago, USC on Wednesday and Nebraska was yesterday.

"I'm excited to get all of them. The Southern Cal offer surprised me since it's kind of far out."

"I'm going to North Carolina on the 27th. Over spring break the first week of April, I'm either going to Clemson, Alabama or Florida. I also may be going to Virginia Tech's spring game in late April, but I'm not sure yet."

With recruiting continuing to pile on, does Grant favor anybody?

"I don't have any favorites," he said. "Anytime I think about narrowing it down somebody new comes in the picture. I'm not high on anybody anymore.

"I'm just looking for playing time and a great coaching staff. You know how people will treat you during recruiting, but I want to see how you feel when you get there and if you get that certain vibe. With playing time, a couple schools told me I'd have a shot to play earlier possibly as a freshman including Alabama and Virginia."

"Well, to be honest with you, I got my first one when I was in the ninth grade. Then it got to five or six, and I thought it was going to stop at ten," Grant said. "But, you know, I still wonder how, but I'm not going to question it. I'm just going to continue with my talents and my abilities and just to play the game because at any given time anything the Lord has given you can be taken away. So, I don't question anything He does, I just thank Him for it."

"I'd say my ability to be able to read and attack. From being able to watch film -- I study film twenty-four, seven, to be honest with you. For me just to be able to get on the field and see different techniques that the other team has brought to the table," Grant added. "And for me to able to get out there and still be able to check my calls and even check out of my calls and to check into something else. Coach may have called this play but he gives me the responsibility to check out of the play, just in-case the situation changes."

On Tennessee: "They have a big stadium. I've been to the stadium, that's a great stadium. I like the country a lot. It's a nice little country place. It seems like they have a lot of nice restaurants in the town," Grant said dissecting his visit. "As I recall, it was a nice little hole in the wall restaurant, which are all the good restaurants usually."
"Early playing time and that's about it. I want to play my freshman year."
