A high school sophomore with nearly two dozen scholarship offers already, Tony Grimes is one of the nation’s top prospects in the class of 2021. In fact, the Virginia Beach (Va.) Princess Anne standout is considered the No. 1 cornerback in the country for his class by 247Sports.
With a slew of major programs pursuing him early in the recruiting process, Grimes decided to go ahead and trim down his list last week when he announced a top 15 that included Clemson along with Alabama, Auburn, Maryland, Michigan, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Penn State, Pittsburgh, Tennessee, Texas A&M, TCU, North Carolina, Virginia and Virginia Tech.
