The Search for the Truth About Trevon Grimes' Transfer From Ohio State to Florida - Stadium

Thank you sir for your interest in my son’s story. … I’m sure Trevon will be honored to have you write a story on him. However, as his FATHER I can’t wait for that one reporter who cares about the TRUTH and where we came from!!”

That was the first response I received after messaging LeBron Grimes, the father of former Ohio State receiver Trevon Grimes, on Facebook on Sept. 10. LeBron wanted someone to finally expose – as he put it – the TRUTH. It gnawed at him, but he desperately wanted others to know this twisted tale of lies, secrets and deception. He wanted someone to, well, tell the truth.

The truth, LeBron Grimes says, is this: Ohio State coach Urban Meyer knew of assistant coach Zach Smith’s alleged racially-charged altercation in September 2017 with his son Trevon and helped keep it quiet. Ohio State officials and Zach Smith deny the allegations.

So what exactly is the TRUTH? Everyone has their version. What follows is my attempt to find the real story involving Trevon Grimes, who abruptly left Ohio State last fall, transferred to Florida in January and was ruled eligible to play six months later without sitting out a season. Getting to the truth proved difficult amid allegations of racism, fraud and conspiracy involving parties with sordid pasts.

Those parties: a convicted felon, a nurse who committed fraud and stole thousands of dollars from a dying elderly couple, and one of the nation’s most powerful college football coaches who hasn’t been entirely truthful in the past, especially when dealing with a disgraced assistant coach.

Excerpted due to length of the article and uncertainty over the sites copyright rules.

McMurphy is a sensationalist tabloid journalist, but did break the Zach Smith domestic violence story that involved Urban Meyer and did lead up to the coaches three game suspension. If the story is true, it is not only an indictment of OSU football but big-time college sports in general. Thoughts please.

I believe Al Davis said, “Just win, baby...just win.”

Somebody really, really, really wants Urban Meyer fired from Ohio State.

McMurphy is a sensationalist liberal douche-canoe. In other words, your run-of-the-mill sports writer. I am a Bama fan with no love for Ohio State and I can smell BS from a mile away on this story.

Fake news!!!. Grimes, his mother and other players who were present denied it happened. Mother characterized father as a wife-beating liar. Meyer and players flew to Fla. to help with LeBron’s issues with his mother’s medical condition. On a really good day, McMurphy sucks pond scum. He appears to be the willing and clueless lapdog of Texas coach Tom Herman.
