Defensive back Jordan Grier is still looking to participate in his first postseason game.
Grier’s focus coming out of Cedar Grove High School in Georgia was playing for a Power 5 school. He landed at Indiana where he appeared in 30 games in three seasons that included a combined 9-27 record.
Grier’s priorities shifted when looking for a new home after entering the NCAA transfer portal this offseason.
