Tampa (Fla.) Catholic 2024 athlete Jameer Grimsley included Florida in his final eight schools on Thursday, with North Carolina, Penn State, Florida State, Alabama, Michigan, Oklahoma and South Carolina also in the mix for his services at this time.
Grimsley announced the narrowing of his recruitment, down from 37 offers, via Rivals.
Florida entered the race for Grimsley's talents by presenting him with an offer on March 23. Grimsley quickly made his way to Gainesville for an unofficial visit on April 8 and bonded with head coach Billy Napier, defensive backs coach Corey Raymond and wide receivers coach Billy Gonzales.
Grimsley has scheduled official visits to North Carolina (June 2-4), Penn State (June 9-11), Florida State (June 11-13), Alabama (June 16-18) and Michigan (June 23-25).
The 247Sports composite rankings consider Grimsley, 6-foot-3, 185 pounds, to be the No. 19 cornerback and No. 230 overall prospect in the class of 2024.
Grimsley hauled in 25 receptions for 356 yards and three touchdowns as a wide receiver and posted 10 tackles, one interception and one pass breakup as a defensive back during his junior season at Tampa (Fla.) Bloomingdale.
A two-sport athlete, Grimsley also runs track. He produced personal bests in the 100-meter dash (10.94 seconds) and 200-meter dash (21.89 seconds) in 2023.
