ESN PLAYER EVALUATION/NOTES
Tony Grimes is one of the top-rated players overall in the 2021 class. He plays CB, FS, WR, RB, and QB (Wildcat). He is a tremendous athlete that has been clocked at 10.97 in the 100M. He excels across the board at every position he plays. As a DB, he can be a bigger press corner or play Safety. He is an excellent coverage guy that suffocates opposing receivers and is aggressive tackling against the run. As a safety, he showed off his range and explosive burst closing on the football. On offense, they just tried to get him as many touches as they could every game. As a wide receiver, he was a huge threat over the middle and has the ability to take a short pass and take it all the way. As a running back and in the Wildcat, he is shifty and has the vision to find daylight in traffic. He runs hard and can cut going full speed. Tony is one of the best we have seen on a national level and it will be a fight down the stretch to see who gets him.
