As he scouted Jordan Grier during the recruiting process, Indiana head coach Tom Allen began to think about the possibilities.
In Grier, a 6-foot, 193-pound defensive back from Georgia, Allen saw a prospect who could fit multiple positions inside IU’s secondary. He saw a defender with a sturdy frame, intriguing quickness and good hands. In other words, Allen saw exactly the kind of player he wants in his defensive backfield.
Now, Grier is on campus preparing for his first season inside Indiana’s program. Although he appears set to start his career working as a safety, he could move around the back end of IU’s defense over time.
