Overview:
A former five-star recruit, Grimes started his college career at Ohio State picking the Buckeyes over the in-state Gators. But after one season in Columbus, Grimes went back to the Sunshine State and transferred to Florida where he spent the final three years of his eligibility. He decided to join Dan Mullen’s squad, hoping to break a go-to receiving option to the offense.
The receiver made an impact right away in 2018 catching 26 passes for 364 yards and two touchdowns. A year later he upped that production to 33 receptions for 491 yards and 3 touchdowns. But his senior season at Florida was his cherry on top as Grimes played in every regular-season game and the SEC Championship Game recording 38 receptions for 589 yards and 9 touchdowns, a banner year for the receiver.
With the Gators having multiple weapons on offense, Grimes still found a way to stand out becoming a big target for quarterback Kyle Trask. He set new career-high in catches against Arkansas and then matched that in the win over Tennessee.
Grimes wrapped up his Florida career in the SEC title game, catching four passes for 78 yards and a touchdown, including setting a career-high long on a 50-yard reception. He opted to sit out of the Cotton Bowl to prepare for the 2021 NFL Draft.
