Rumors about Trevon Grimes potentially leaving OSU. Apparently he was the kid who Urban kissed the presser today to fly home with to see a sick family member.
"As was made public on Monday, Urban Meyer’s weekly press conference was cancelled so that Meyer and a small group of Ohio State emissaries could head out of town to spend time with a player and his family. The nature of the issue isn’t mine to tell, but many people have reasonably presumed that it involved Trevon Grimes, who was not on the sidelines with the Buckeyes last Saturday against Maryland or the week before against Rutgers. His social media timelines have shown him as being home in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
The last month or so has been a trying time for Grimes, according to sources close to the situation. The wide receiver has started to get back on the field (slowly) after a torn ACL. He’s also dealt with a major hurricane hitting the area close to his home, family issues, and general freshman malaise of homesickness and the challenges faced by any player who is 1,000 miles from home.
It’s a perfect storm kind of thing for a person to go through and certainly could lend credence to the idea that he may end up leaving Ohio State.
However, from what I’ve been able to glean from this situation is that at the time the Ohio State contingent left Florida on Monday, there was a plan in place for Grimes to stay in Florida and be with his family at least through the end of this semester. At that point, he is expected to return to Ohio State. If that changed, or is up for debate, I do not know any details. It could change daily, but that’s where things were.
It’s important in a situation like this to stop thinking about the football team and the roster and that kind of stuff. Respecting a family’s privacy and the things they need to do for each other supersedes any football-related side effects" Per Birm on LandOf10. Also, it is pretty much confirmed that he is the one with the family issue. As of now, everything points to him being back, though maybe not for this football season.

Just saw this on his IG
