Zion Grady is down to ten schools heading into his junior season. 

Grady is one of the nation’s top edge prospects in the 2025 recruiting class. He attends Charles Henderson High School in Troy, Alabama, and he holds a national offer list. He has Alabama, Auburn, Florida State, Georgia, Louisville, Michigan, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas and USC as his top 10 schools. 

The Crimson Tide are trending with Grady at the moment due to their efforts towards building on their relationships with him. He said his relationship with Alabama was growing by the day after his latest visit to Tuscaloosa. Alabama’s message has remained clear to the rising junior. 

“Their message is we will make you the best Zion Grady now and for the future,” Grady said. “They actually have the stats to back up what they are saying.”

At 6-foot-4 and 235 pounds, Grady is a versatile defensive prospect with experience rushing standing up from the edge and playing with his hand in the ground. He has an explosive first step and can time the snap of the football extremely well.
