UNC Defensive Back Tony Grimes On A Mission

Posted May 21, 2022
Tony Grimes will be on the football field locking down receivers at cornerback for UNC again this fall, but he will look at tad different. No longer donning number 20, as he did the last two seasons, the junior from Virginia Beach now sports a new number, and one that pretty much sizes him up. Grimes now wears number one, and he says it fits him to a tee. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
