Western Carolina freshman CB Quency Grant III brings size, youth, and upside to the Catamounts
Grant III entered Western Carolina in 2026 as a true freshman cornerback from Ridge View HS in Columbia, S.C., listed at 5-foot-10 and 170 pounds, and he’s part of a deep defensive-backs room that includes veterans ahead of him. He’s the kind of prospect teams like because the profile screams development: quick-twitch corner size, a clean freshman runway, and room to grow into a coverage piece who can contribute on special teams first. The appeal is upside, not instant volume—think long-term DB room chess piece with fresh legs and no baggage.
