2012 Media Guide: Curtis came out of the 2012 spring drills listed as the Buckeyes’ starting middle linebacker … his spring ended short of the spring game because of a pinched nerve, but coaches liked what they saw of Grant before he was sidelined, and that’s a good thing: Coach Urban Meyer said at the start of the drills that Grant “has to be a player for us. If he’s not, we’ve got problems.”

2011: Curtis was considered the top-rated prospect in the Ohio State Class of 2011 recruits, but he wasn’t able to turn that lofty ranking into significant playing time as a freshman, and as a result managed mostly special teams action in 10 games … he recorded two tackles.

High School: Three-year all-Richmond metro defender … 134 tackles, 15 TFL, 6 sacks as a senior for Coach Patrick Kane … Parade All-America and USA Today all-USA … leading tackler for the East in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl.

Personal: Son of Gloria Grant and Curtis Raynard Grant.
