Dovonte Grimes brings ball-hawking upside and hometown toughness to UAPB
In the 2024 season, Dovonte Grimes logged 2 total tackles for Arkansas-Pine Bluff, and in 2025 he remained on the roster as a freshman DB wearing No. 45[1][2]. The real selling point is his resume before college: he was a 2023 second-team all-state defensive back at Junction City High and led his team with 9 interceptions, which screams instinct, timing, and a nose for the football[2]. At 6-foot, 170 pounds, he looks like a developmental cover man with takeaway potential rather than a finished product[1][2].
