Jermaine Grace

Junior linebacker Grace has a lot of upside. And, now would be the perfect time for him to hone those skills.

The 6’1″ and 221 pound Grace was a 4-star recruit out of Miramar High School (Miami, FL) and chose the ‘Canes over a slew of schools including: Florida, Florida State, Nebraska, Penn State, Tennessee and Texas A&M.

Against VaTech, Grace had 2 solo tackles … 1 was a sack for a 2-yard loss and the other was just a tackle for again, a 2-yard loss.

Though Grace had struggled with some injuries this season, Golden and staff have been allowing Grace to take on a bigger role this year. And, he’s been doing really well.

He currently has 29 tackles, 18 of them solo tackles.
