Ohio State wide receiver to transfer to Florida, according to report

With rumors swirling about his status with the program, Ohio State freshman wide receiver Trevon Grimes will reportedly transfer to the University of Florida. A graduate of Miami’s St. Thomas Aquinas high school, the former five-star WR signed with Florida today, according to the SunSentinel. The UF compliance office is working to finalize the move now.

After taking a leave from the OSU team to deal with “family health issues” in October, Grimes said, “I just felt like [Florida] fit for me. It’s close to home. Of course, being in my situation that I’m in right now, I have to be close to home,” according to the SunSentinel.

The paper noted that being closer to family was a major reason why Grimes decided to transfer, saying of UF, “I feel like I fit in to that offense and that program very well.”

Grimes saw action in two games this season for the Buckeyes collecting just 20 receiving yards. This is coming off a senior season in high school that saw him tear his ACL against fellow Buckeye freshman Tate Martell’s Bishop Gorman High School.
