The 2009 class looks to have one that
is just now getting his name out.
"Nobody
knew who I was," stated Terrell Grant. "I ran a 4.49 forty (at the Ole Miss Sr camp) and Coach Nutt was there when I finished. He told me that I had
wheels. I told him I always had it in me."What other coaches spoke with
the talented WR?
"I met Coach Austin, Coach Nutt, and Coach Dickerson.
They told me they wanted to get me an offer. I think I'll get an offer from Ole
Miss really soon. They told me to stay in touch with them because they can't call
me right now. I promised them I would." (Editors Note: Since this
interview, Terrell has reported to Scout.com that he was offered by Ole Miss late
Monday afternoon)"
Does Grant have any other offers?
"Mississippi State offered me Thursday but as a grey shirt. My scholarship is not for 2009
but for 2010. I want to play this year. I don't want to waste any time. I'm going
to have to call them back and see if they'll give me one for 2009."
Who
accompanied the Grant to the camp?
"I rode up their with Derrick Herman
who plays for Ole Miss. He told me lots of good things. He says the coaches know
everything you do. If you miss class or sleep in class they know. They really
enforce rules and I like that. They want you to get your degree. It's not just
about football with them. They have a plan so that you can get your degree in
three and a half years. So you know education comes first at Ole Miss."
What
does the Mississippi star like about Ole Miss?
"This was my second
trip to Ole Miss and my first this summer. I really like their Business school.
I want to major in Business and they are known for that. I also like the family
atmosphere at Ole Miss. The players and the coaches get along really well. I want
that in a team. I also liked Coach Dickerson. He taught me so much in one day.
He showed me stuff I'd never seen in my life. He really helped my game. I can't
imagine what he could teach me over the course of a year. I also loved the intensity.
Everything you do with Ole Miss' coaches is high energy."
What's next
for Grant?
"I'm going to wait things out and get ready for the season.
The number one thing on my mind is the upcoming season. I think other schools
will also take notice but I'm thankful that Ole Miss and Mississippi State already
have. We have practice soon and I can't wait to get started."
