Recorded 10 tackles (6 solo), a tackle for loss, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery in the Broncos’ 10-7 victory over Virginia Union.

He then had two big tackles on second and third down to force a Panthers punt. The Broncos kicked a 27-yard field goal with :06 remaining to win the game.
This is Grier’s third year in the Broncos program. Last year, he registered 35 tackles (18 solo), 6.5 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks.
