The UNC football program is trending for Tony Grimes, the nation’s No. 1-ranked cornerback.

The North Carolina Tar Heels were initially going to have to wait until December for an announcement from Tony Grimes, their top target in the class of 2021 and the nation’s No. 1-ranked cornerback. Instead, they’ll have to wait just one more week, as Grimes announced on Sunday afternoon that he’d be moving his commitment up by nearly six months to June 30.
