Herndon is off to a 5-0 start for the 2003 season, thanks largely to a stout defensive unit led by 6-2 1/2, 232 pound inside linebacker Kevin Grant . Grant, who is known for making crushing hits, has helped the defense hold opponents to an average of only 10 points per game.

According to Head Coach Tommy Meier, Grant looks and plays like a college linebacker right now.

“Kevin is a three-year starter for us, and he is the leader of our team,” said Meier. “He’s smart, tough, runs a 4.7 in the 40, and really knows the game, but his trademark is his knockout tackles. He looks like a college linebacker right now. There is no doubt in my mind that he could step out on the field for a college team right now.”

Grant has received phone calls from Virginia, Maryland, NC State, Wake Forest, William & Mary, Richmond, and Ohio University. Virginia Tech is one of the schools he would like to see more interest from, however the Hokies have only sent letters to this point.
