Film and stats are pretty impressive even at the Juco level. Has some play making abilities and speed, can catch out of the backfield. Can also be a return man with Palmer. 

 

Class of 18' recruit so I would assume he would be 22 years old to start the year. Started at FSU then went Juco route.

Don’t think he has been officially offered yet

I just offered him for us. So it's all good.

Maybe a walkon guy?

Grant had a really good season going for 1730 yards and 18 touchdowns rushing this year including going for nearly 400 yards in the JC national semifinals.

Why would a 22 year old RB walk-on?

Several ideas:   
1. He began at Fl State, then left for Juco.  Academics?  Skill?  Other reasons?

2.  No better offers?   
3.   Transfer portal has a number of RBs and time is short to get into a school before 2nd semesters start and number of better programs interested may be limited already for a Juco guy perhaps?

4.   Maybe Neb says we don’t have scholarships right now but you come and earn one?

Yant walked on and is pretty decent - comparable at least.  Just suggesting why it is quite possible.   JUCO guys are seemingly below the portal right now.

Grant out of HS 17th ranked RB in the country and current #1 Juco RB in the nation, Yant out of HS 122nd ranked RB.

I’m all for getting more talent but if the number of scholarships is very limited, we take Ajay if we can, otherwise O line, O line, O line and D line and defense are more important to a passing team.  Imo.

There are questions as to whether his offer is committable.  Still has work to do in the classroom.

This is why, I think, teams are much more active in the transfer portal than JUCO.  You can find a great player at JUCO.  However, many of them have issues like grades or other off the field issues that put them there.  At least in the portal, you're talking to a kid who is currently qualified to be on the team.
