Rossie Grimes Jr. brings size, versatility, and proven ball production to EKU’s secondary
Rossie Grimes Jr. is a 6-foot-2, 195-pound defensive back who gives Eastern Kentucky a physical, experienced presence in the back end. In 2024 at Tuskegee, he posted 50 tackles, 5 tackles for loss, 1 sack, 1 interception, and 3 pass breakups in 11 games, and EKU’s coaches praised his “good size” and “well-rounded skillset” when he signed. He looks like a fit for a defense that values length, toughness, and multiple-role DBs rather than just pure track speed.
