Moreover, Grimes spent three seasons with the Tar Heels, and then transferred to Texas A&M ahead of the 2023 campaign. However, he did not play this past season for the Aggies. In total, he has 97 tackles, 74 solo tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, one sack, one interception and one forced fumble in his career.

As a member of the Class of 2020, Grimes was a five-star recruit out of Virginia Beach (Va.) Princess Anne, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He was the No. 1 prospect in the state, the No. 3 cornerback in the class and the No. 19 overall prospect in the class.
