Early entry to UNC puts 5-star CB Tony Grimes in rare company

Posted Jul 14, 2020
Five-star cornerback Tony Grimes plans to fulfill graduation requirements at Princess Anne High School this summer and reclassify so he can enroll at UNC in August and play for the Tar Heels in 2020. The possibility of the COVID-19 outbreak forcing the cancellation of the high school season in Virginia and elsewhere played a major role in Grimes’ decision. (Fayetteville Observer)
