OU football: Lincoln Riley talks about signee Reggie Grimes

NORMAN — Lincoln Riley and the Sooners are excited about signee Reggie Grimes.

Grimes signed with OU on Feb. 5, helping finish out the Sooners’ 2020 class.

“Great athlete, has a great pedigree, kind of one of those elite edge guys we were really thrilled to get in here,” Riley said. “He’s gonna be a really, really nice addition to that front.”

A four-star defensive end, Grimes is rated No. 7 in his position nationally and is the No. 5 player coming out of Tennessee in the 2020 class, according to Rivals.

“You watch his high school film, he played a lot of tailback, which you love seeing for a guy that’s 6-4, 200 pounds already.
