Reggie Grimes II brings SEC-tested size and disruptive upside to Memphis
Grimes is a big, experienced edge/DL with real pass-rush pedigree: he arrived at Memphis after four seasons at Oklahoma and, in 2025, had 3 tackles and 0.5 TFL through five games, while his Memphis 2024 debut produced 3 tackles and a sack in 11 appearances.[1][2][6] His calling card is frame-and-power—6'4", 282 pounds—with above-average ratings in strength, tackle, pursuit, and block shedding that match the scouting profile of a physical, assignment-sound defender who can win with effort and leverage rather than pure flash.[3] The concern is availability and consistency, since his 2023 Oklahoma season was limited by injury after four games.[4]
