Tarrion Grant, a 4-star athlete from Siegel High School in Murfreesboro, TN, is gearing up to attend the Supermax 100 National Invitational in Detroit.
The two-day event promises to cover a range of activities, including an alum luncheon, a bowl game outing, biometric measurements, a NIL seminar, an exclusive photoshoot, a 7v7 tournament, and a position showcase.
Grant has been a part of Supermax 100 for two years now and has benefited greatly from the program’s exposure, camps, college tours, mentorship, and training.
In fact, he was highlighted for his ability to cover various skilled receivers at the Midwest Invitational last year.
With a 4.52 run time, 10-1 broad jumps, and a 78-5 inch wingspan, Grant’s athleticism as a football player and track runner is a dual threat. As a result, he has received offers from 25 programs, including Alabama State, Arkansas, Arkansas State, Georgia Tech, Marshall, Michigan, Michigan State, Purdue, Toledo, and Wisconsin.
Despite this, he remains humble and dedicated to maintaining a 3.0 GPA, which is a standard of academic excellence set before all of the program’s players.
“I have a 3.0. I balance being a student-athlete by taking school first; school comes first before anything else. You gotta add the books before you can do anything else.”
When asked about his best game for the season with Siegel High School, Grant recalled the Oakland game, during which he had 11 tackles, a PBU, and a touchdown despite not practicing that whole week due to an ankle injury.
He credits his success to the guidance of Coach Buck, co-founder of NPA and a grassroots organizer of Supermax 100, who has kept him on a great path since he joined NPA.
“Coach Buck has kept me on a great path since I have been with NPA. And he’s showing me what I can be, and I have to believe in myself.”
Grant is ranked No. 2 in the 2025 top football recruits in TN, No. 6 in the 2025 top cornerback recruits, and in the top 50 for the 2025 top football recruits.
He is a testament to the effectiveness of Supermax 100 and NPA in creating an atmosphere of mentorship and helping young athletes showcase their hard work and potential.
