Grier honored by preseason pub: ‘I’m proud to represent West Virginia’

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Through film study, passing drills, offseason conditioning and the occasional magazine photo shoot, Will Grier’s summer also features a nightly 7:30 appointment.

That’s bedtime for his 19-month-old daughter Eloise. And in her eyes, Daddy already owns the Heisman.

“I really like sitting with her before she goes to sleep and then putting her down,” said Grier. “There’s not enough hours in the day, you know, but I always make time for her.”

Just as hugs and cooing and goofy smiles have become trappings of the Grier household, so goes the fawning of the national media over West Virginia’s star quarterback.
