In his senior season at Millbrook High School, Girard has caught 87 passes for 1600 yards and 26 touchdowns.
After fending off Notre Dame, North Carolina, Tennessee, and interest from the likes of Texas, Clemson, and Arizona, Wake secured the signature of one of the biggest risers in the 2022 class. He’s able to create separation, attack the ball, and his hands are some of the best I’ve seen in a while. Grimes is such a smooth guy at wideout and he might be able to contribute sooner versus later if he can put it all together.
