Hermitage (Richmond, VA) linebacker Curtis Grant has traveled all over the country this year, visiting a number of schools including Alabama, Clemson, Florida, North Carolina, UCLA, USC, Virginia and Virginia Tech. The top ranked prospect in the TSL’s Preseason In-State Top 40 remains quiet in terms of naming favorites, but the main contenders could become known in the coming weeks.

“There is no timetable, but I think me and my family and my coach are going to sit down and knock it down a lot soon. Maybe in the next two or three weeks,” said Grant, who has been offered by all of the programs he has visited and many more. “I’m thinking I might knock it down to five or six. Or maybe eight.”

With respect to where he chooses to attend college, Grant says that location “doesn’t really matter, to be honest with you.” And asked if in-state ACC programs Virginia and Virginia Tech remained seriously in the race, he answered, “I really haven’t thought a lot about schools.”

With the start of preseason practice just three weeks away, Grant’s action-packed offseason is almost at an end. He had hoped to take unofficial visits to Michigan and Ohio State, but at this point he says those visits are unlikely to happen. Grant mentioned UVa as a possibility if he does visit any other programs this summer, but nothing has been set.
