WR Trevon Grimes (transfer to Florida Gators)

Trevon Grimes opens up about Ohio State's offense, his recovery from ACL surgery

Fiver-star wide receiver Trevon Grimes of Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) St. Thomas Aquinas watched the Fiesta Bowl like the rest of the world and he saw Ohio State's passing game struggle in a 31-0 blowout loss to Clemson.

Grimes digested all of it.

But what you have to understand about a five-star prospect like Grimes is that he doesn't see something like that and want to run away. He wants to dive in and help.

Rated a five-star prospect and No. 5 receiver in the 2017 recruiting class in the 247Sports composite rankings, Grimes saw Ohio State's deficiencies and immediately mentally inserted himself into the lineup. There's potential there.

"People had been saying all year that Ohio State needed a deep threat, and that's basically what I specialize in and what I feel like I can bring to the table," Grimes told cleveland.com on Wednesday. "I feel like once I do get to Ohio State and get acclimated with the program, I think me being able to stretch the field and go deep could really help the passing game."

There's a lot of irony with Grimes' injury. It occured on a televised game against Bishop Gorman, a team with three Ohio State commits, and he scored an exciting touchdown before it happened. The injury also happened the same exact week in the season that former five-star defensive end and Aquinas product Nick Bosa tore his the previous season.

That has given Grimes strength. He saw Bosa go through it and play as a freshman at Ohio State.

"It helped me a lot in the first couple of weeks, but now it doesn't even cross my mind that I'm not going to recover," Grimes said. "Now that I'm in week 11, my whole mindset has changed. I know I'm going to come back better than ever and I'm looking forward to it. I don't have any doubt in my mind that this ACL surgery will have an impact on me at all."

Grimes had a different surgeon than Bosa but has been working with the same therapist, and the receiver said the trajectory of his recovery has been very similar to Bosa's.

Though Grimes isn't going to enroll early, he feels he'll be able to practice -- at least on a limited basis at the beginning -- when Ohio State opens up fall camp. Grimes feels as if he'll be able to play.

"I'll be ready," he said.
