Tony Grimes’ Father and Coach, Deon Glover, Discusses the Impact of Kerry Coombs' Return and How Ohio State Worked Its Way Back Into the Top Cornerback’s Recruitment

The last time Deon Glover and Tony Grimes visited Ohio State, in April of 2019, there was a major mishap on their drive from Virginia Beach.

Glover, the father of Grimes, the nation's No. 1-ranked cornerback in the 2021 class, ran into a deer while driving, and the damage to the Honda Pilot was severe enough that Glover had to leave the car in Columbus for three months at the collision repair center (no one in the car was hurt).

Thankfully, for Ohio State coaches and supporters, the car might have crashed and burned, but the Buckeyes' chances of landing the country's 10th-ranked player in the class have not.
