WAKE FOREST, N.C. — The Wake Forest community is mourning the loss of a legendary football player and Hall of Fame Inductee, Bob Grant.
The 2011 Wake Forest Sports Hall of Fame inductee and Trailblazer started at Wake Forest in 1964 and spent four years in Winston-Salem before landing a career in the NFL.
In 1968, Grant was drafted in the second-round pick by the Baltimore Colts.
He was one of the pioneering Black football players who integrated a college football team in the South during the fall of 1964.
Please keep the Wake Forest community, his friends, and families in your thoughts during this difficult time.
