Running Back
Free Agent
Alabama State
"Signed as a free agent, Grant was a solid, punishing runner at Alabama State who played both fullback and tailback. His size and speed are good and he's an above average blocker.
He rushed for 855 yards in his final two seasons on 181 carries, an average of 4.7 per carry, and averaged 4.9 per carry on a 2-8 team in his junior year. A good receiver, Ike once caught two touchdown passes totaling 40 yards to win two games against archrival opponents. He earned all-conference honors for two years and was a small college honorable mention All-American. He was team MVP in 1974 and 1975.
Grant holds a B.S. in physical education with a minor in recreation. He enjoys working with young people in his spare time. His questionnaire response says 'I am willing to work and become a winning player on a winning team, the New York Jets.' Nicknamed 'Big Back' for his powerhouse running techniques, Grant's hometown is Alexander City, Louisiana."

A great person who later taught at Lafayette High in Alabama which I had the pleasure of playing under.
