Dayton’s local guard with the family ties and grinder profile
Makai Grant is a Dayton-born guard for the Flyers who fits the classic “steady, smart, and team-first” mold: at 6-foot-1, 195 pounds, he brings local familiarity, strong program ties, and a coach’s-son edge that often shows up in attention to detail and competitiveness. In the 2024-25 season, he appeared in 3 games for Dayton, and his earlier 2023-24 freshman season included 5 games with 2 rebounds and 1 assist, so his current value is more about development, practice habits, and long-term upside than box-score production. He looks like a fit for a program that values toughness, culture, and patience.
