Grant was offered by Head Coach Mark Dantonio last summer after he put on an impressive performance at the Spartan Summer Camp. In addition to Michigan State, He currently holds offers from teams such as Ohio State, Iowa, Michigan, Notre Dame and Georgia.
In addition to summer camp and the junior day, Grant was at Michigan State this past fall watching the Spartans defeat Western Michigan 49-14.
One of the reasons why Grant there is a high-level of mutual interest between Michigan State and Grant is due to the fact that his father was a standout wide receiver for the Spartan back in the early 1980's.
