Four-star cornerback Jameer Grimsley of Tampa (FL) Catholic High narrowed his list to three schools, and set his commitment date for Saturday.

The 6-foot-3, 185 pounder is down to the following: Alabama, Michigan, and Florida.

Grimsley discusses finalists

Alabama Crimson Tide: Bama is a great school. They produce at all positions. Nick Saban is hands on with the DBs and they have great history putting DBs in the league. They will be a top program for years to come and they are consistently always in championship contention.

Michigan Wolverines: Michigan is a great school academically.  They are the current Big10 champs and have been for the last two years.  They have a chance this year to do something special this year and the program keeps getting better and better.  Also have a great track record for putting their players in the league.

Florida Gators: Florida is close to home, and has been my dream school since I was a kid.  I like the direction they’re going in with their rebuild and the weather is great here in Florida.  Historically they’ve been a great school especially on defense and have had multiple first round DBs.  It may be a school that if I want to be part of a rebuild we could bring Florida back into national championship contention.

Grimsley ranks as the No. 199 player in the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also tabs in as the No. 22 cornerback and the No. 31 player in the state of Florida.

On3 ranks him higher than the industry, as he tabs in as the No. 77 player nationally, the No. 11 cornerback, and the No. 14 player in Florida.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $79K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
