Grant only played in 3 games as a reserve this season for the Boilermakers, giving him the ability to redshirt the season. He has 1 year of eligibility remaining.

Prior to 2023, Grant started in all 12 games for the Boilermakers at Right Guard, with a PFF grade of 60.9.

Grant spent his first three years at Bowling Green before transferring to Purdue.

In 2022, he started in 12 of the 13 games he played in, starting 10 games at Left Guard, and 2 at Center.

ON3 ranks him as the #53 Offensive Lineman in the Transfer Portal.

Wherever Grant lands, he brings years of starting experience.

His versatility would be extremely valuable for NC State, who is looking to replace Left Tackle Anthony Belton, Center Zeke Correll and Right Guard Tim McKay. Depth is needed on the Wolfpack Offensive Line in 2025.

NC State has picked up two transfers from the Portal thus far, and both of them have been Offensive Linemen: Utah State’s Teague Andersen and North Carolina A&T’s Brock Stukes.
