Early life

Grimm was born in Fairfax, Virginia, on February 26, 1987, the son of Pro Football Hall of Fame guard and former Arizona Cardinals assistant head coach/offensive line coach Russ Grimm.[2] His older brother, Chad, played college football at Virginia Tech, was the outside linebackers coach for the Washington Redskins from 2017 to 2019. Grimm's younger brother, Dylan, played lacrosse at Loyola University Maryland, where he won a National Championship in 2012.[4] His uncle, Donn Grimm, was a starting linebacker on the Notre Dame 1988 National Championship team and signed with the Cardinals as a rookie free agent in 1991.

Grimm attended and played high school football at Oakton High School in Vienna, Virginia, where he lettered three times. As an outside linebacker, he finished his senior season with 127 total tackles, seven interceptions and three quarterback sacks. He also caught 17 passes for 278 yards and six touchdowns as a tight end.[5] On October 29, 2004, Oakton beat Westfield High School 24-20, and Grimm recorded a high school career-high 19 tackles along with a sack and an interception as Oakton ended the Bulldogs’ 21-game winning streak.[6] That season, he helped Oakton win their first district championship in 25 years.[6] After the season, Grimm earned first-team all-state and Northern Region Defensive Player of the Year honors.[5] Grimm also played lacrosse for Oakton. He lettered three times and led team to three state championships[5] and was an all-American midfielder and face-off specialist recruited by Georgetown, Loyola and Virginia.[4] In 2019, Grimm was inducted into the Oakton High School Athletics Hall of Fame. In 2022, he was honored by being added into the Northern Virginia Football Hall of Fame.

College

After graduating from Oakton, Grimm had one football scholarship offer, which was from Division I-AA William & Mary College.[2] He also received recruiting offers to come in as a walk-on from Virginia, Pittsburgh, and Virginia Tech. He chose to attend Virginia Tech.[7]

Grimm played in 54 games and started 15 over four seasons at Virginia Tech, recording 214 tackles, 26.5 tackles for loss, 11.5 sacks, nine forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and two interceptions.[3]

Grimm redshirted in 2005 and worked on the scout team as a whip linebacker.[5]

Freshman season (2006)

As a freshman, Grimm was a starter on three different special team units.[5] In his first game for Virginia Tech, he was in on 13 special team plays against Northeastern University.[5] He ended the season with 10 total tackles.[5]

Sophomore season (2007)

Grimm started on defense for the first time in his college career against Boston College and played 21 snaps at whip linebacker with three tackles. He finished the 2007 ACC Championship Game at linebacker when Cam Martin was injured with knee problems.[7] In the 2008 Orange Bowl loss to Kansas, he had six tackles. Grimm finished the season with 27 total tackles.[5] Head coach Frank Beamer awarded Grimm a scholarship in his redshirt sophomore season.[7]

During his junior season, Grimm started on three special team units. In a win over Georgia Tech on September 13, 2008, he caught his first interception and had three tackles. The following week at North Carolina, he contributed a quarterback sack and a tackle for loss among his five tackles.[5] On October 25, 2008, Grimm recorded two sacks in a loss against Florida State.

Senior season (2009)

In his senior year, Grimm became a starter at outside linebacker for the Hokies. On October 3, 2009, he tallied a game and career-high 14 tackles in a 34–26 win against Duke, including two tackles for loss (six yards) and a forced fumble. Grimm helped the Hokies defense hold Duke to 38 rushing yards on 31 attempts (1.2 yards per rush) and was named ACC Player of the Week.[8] On November 9, 2009, Grimm had a game-high 12 total tackles, a forced and recovered fumble, and a late-game sack in Virginia Tech's 16-3 win against East Carolina. He again won ACC Player of the Week honors.[9] Grimm won the award for the third time after he set an ACC single-season record and tied an NCAA single-game record with three forced fumbles—all of which came in North Carolina State’s first four plays—in the Hokies’ win over the Wolfpack on November 21, 2009.[2] Grimm helped the Virginia Tech defense limit NC State’s offensive to 259 yards of total offense by recording eight tackles, two sacks, a quarterback hurry, and a fumble recovery.[10] He was named the Defensive MVP of the 2009 Chick-fil-A Bowl, where the Hokies won against the University of Tennessee.[3]
