Tony Grimes listed among AP's top NCAA football freshmen

Posted Sep 9, 2020
UNC is getting cornerback Tony Grimes a year earlier than expected. The former 2021 recruit decided to reclassify by graduating this summer. That makes him eligible to play for the 18th-ranked Tar Heels this fall. Before Grimes reclassified, the 247Sports Composite rated him as the nation’s No. 1 cornerback and No. 7 overall player in the 2021 class. (WTKR.com)
