Jayden Grimes brings veteran polish and return-game juice for WSSU
In the 2026 season, Jayden Grimes is a graduate-student WR for Winston-Salem State who is being leaned on as an experienced offensive piece and a kick return threat. He posted 36 catches for 405 yards and 5 touchdowns in 2025, then opened 2026 ranked among CIAA kickoff return leaders with 73 yards on three returns (24.3 per return), showing value beyond the box score. His edge is reliability: he’s an established target with proven big-play timing and added special-teams usefulness, making him a good fit for a team that wants veteran steadiness and hidden-yardage upside.
