The Eagles also happened to be <strong>Grigson's </strong>first offer, a life-changing moment for the versatile junior. <strong>Grigson </strong>mentioned that the first offer was a great moment, and " It made me feel like everything I worked so hard for paid off but also motivated me to continue to improve." He also mentioned that the fact that EMU offered first does play a role in his potential commitment and decision, as "they are the first school that believed in me and took a chance on me which means a lot to me."
