Grant
Several e-mails and phone calls over the past month have been made to Larry Grant about the subject of his college choice, and he expected them.
Thats what happens when the school you play football for, Ohio State, meets Florida, the school you made a previous commitment to, for the BCS national title. So as it turns out, either college choice the Norcross grad made, he was going to be playing for a national championship on Jan. 8.
Its exciting; its where everybody would like to be, said Grant, a junior linebacker for the Buckeyes. Im real excited and its a little surprising because I never thought Id be in this situation, playing for a national title in football. Im blessed to live this dream.
Grant plans to enjoy the grand stage, and he enters with a little more motivation than some of his teammates.
