Grippo also held offers from Murray State, Elon, Albany, Stony Brook and Eastern Kentucky.
A third-year redshirt freshman this past year, Grippo was not listed on this season’s two-deep depth chart. But, with significant turnover on the offensive line, he was expected to make a push for playing time next season.
After not playing in 2020, Grippo saw the field in four games in 2021, including 20 special-teams snaps against Duke. This year, Grippo also played in four games.
Grippo will have three remaining years of eligibility with the Leopards.
