Former five-star wide receiver and current Ohio State freshman Trevon Grimes has decided to move back closer to home after spending only one year as a Buckeye. He is originally from Florida and he will be going there for this season as the Gators made it official on their Twitter account:

NFL Hall of Famer Cris Carter said the 6-foot-3, 202-pound receiver could be "the next great one" and that has to bode well for the Gators who have been in need of better quarterback and receiver play the last couple seasons. He committed to the Buckeyes in August of 2016 and never wavered.
However, he did take the fall off from the team to deal with a family health issue. He is originally from Fort Lauderdale so the drive up and down the state is certainly easier than flying to and from Columbus should he need to go see his family. He will also have to sit out this season due to NCAA transfer rules unless he is able to get a hardship waiver that could allow him to play immediately.
He was ranked as a five-star recruit, the No. 4 player at his position and No. 8 recruit in the state of Florida according to Rivals.
