The ripple effect of former Alabama coach [autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] continued on Thursday with 2024 Alabama signee [autotag]Jameer Grimsley[/autotag] entering the portal.
According to On3, Grimsley was a top-100 recruit in the 2024 class and the 15th-best cornerback. He’s a consensus four-star with all major recruiting services ranking Grimsley as a top 300 recruit.
Grimsley told On3’s Hayes Fawcett that LSU will be in consideration. It makes sense given LSU just hired [autotag]Corey Raymond[/autotag], who recruited Grimsley when Raymond was working at Florida.
Corner remains a position of need for LSU and there could be immediate playing time for Grimsley under a completely new look defensive staff.
UPDATE: Spoke with former Alabama CB Jameer Grimsley and he said Florida & LSU are the schools that stand out to him
The 6’3 187 CB also said he will most likely not take any visits, & just announce a commitment

While technically a transfer, Grimsley would be a true freshman in 2024 and one of the top-rated players in LSU’s 2024 class.
LSU is looking for a strong finish this cycle after flipping [autotag]Dominick McKinley[/autotag] on New Year’s Eve while still pushing to flip five-star athlete [autotag]Terry Bussey[/autotag].
Adding Bussey and Grimslee would be a big boost for the LSU secondary.
