TUCSON - Samajie Grant grew up within earshot of the Los Angeles Coliseum, home of the USC Trojans. He was an impressionable child growing up in an era of Reggie Bush and LenDale White.
Grant long had dreams of playing in college, like Bush and White.
But those weren’t his only dreams. And football players aren’t his only heroes.
“Me and my family always felt like I’m like their hero,” Grant said. “But people in the Army are heroes. I look up to them more than I look up to my favorite NFL football players.”
Grant’s final season at UA will need to be a productive one if he hopes to play at the next level.
