Week 6 Stats: 268 rush yards (second-highest FCS single-game season high), 27 rushes, 9.9 ypc
 
Grant carried the load for Sacred Heart’s offense in a 20-10 triumph over Merrimack, registering one of the top individual performances in program history. Accounting for the second-highest rushing output in the FCS this season, the 5-foot-7 running back piled up 268 yards on 27 attempts. His 9.9 yards per carry represent the highest single-game average in the NEC this season by a player with at least 10 rush attempts. Grant gained first-down yardage on 11 of his 27 rushes. The 268 rush yards are the fourth most in SHU single-game annals. Grant also made one reception for a two-yard gain.
