Brian Grant
(OL)  Choctawhatchee HS in Fort Walton Beach, FL
6’8″    280
Committed: 5/17/21
3-star average (3-star on 247Sports, Rivals & ESPN)

Josh Ward’s Analysis:  Grant is probably a project player but a good prospect with really good length at the tackle position. He’ll work to add weight in college and could develop into a solid starter or rotation player in the future. Grant’s athleticism should be a good fit in this offense.

Eric Cain’s Analysis:  The definition or a ‘project player,’ Grant is new to football and is still learning the ropes. The potential is there, however, as he’s a skilled basketball player who has great feet. His size is attractive at 6-foot-8, 280 pounds, and will likely need a redshirt year to fill out his body and work on the fundamentals. Tennessee jumped on Grant early, holding off nearby Florida State for the commitment. Grant could be a steal in a couple of years.
