On Tuesday, Troy University’s 2024 recruiting class grew once again as junior college (JUCO) defensive back Cary Grant committed to the Trojans.

The 6-foot-2-inch, 185-pound New Orleans, La., native, played high school football at Warren Easton High School. He started his college career at Highland Community College in Kansas. As a freshman, Grant tallied 56 tackles and four tackles-for-loss in 10 games last season at safety. Following the season, Grant transferred to Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College (MGCCC) where he will play his sophomore season.

Grant committed to Troy over offers from other schools like Alabama State, Alcorn State, Tuskegee and Arkansas State.
