W&M Football Standout Charles Grant Selected to Senior Bowl Watchlist

(Tribe Athletics)

WILLIAMSBURG — After establishing himself as one of college football’s elite players and top NFL prospects, William & Mary All-America offensive lineman Charles Grant was selected to the 2025 Senior Bowl Watchlist.

The watch list is comprised of the nation’s top NFL Draft prospects and was selected by the Senior Bowl staff that includes 13 scouts with more than 200 years of NFL experience.

The Senior Bowl is college football’s longest continual-running all-star game and produced 110 NFL Draft picks last year, representing 43 percent of all players selected. More than 900 NFL personnel, including key decision-makers from all 32 teams, were credentialed last year.

A consensus preseason All-America selection, Grant was also recently chosen to the Walter Payton Award Preseason Watch List and East-West Shrine Bowl 1000 Watch List.

The two-time first-team All-CAA selection ranked as the conference’s top tackle in pass blocking efficiency last season and allowed just one sack on 334 pass blocking snaps. Additionally, he finished the fall grading out at 92 percent with 40 pancakes en route to helping W&M rank 13th national in rushing (196.9).

His impressive junior campaign followed his breakout sophomore season in which he did not allow any sacks in 13 starts and helped W&M rank third nationally in rushing (265.8) and fourth in fewest sacks allowed per game (0.77).

In addition to garnering multiple preseason top-20 rankings, W&M enters the 2024 campaign having posted three consecutive winning seasons. Additionally, the Tribe earned a top-25 ranking during each of the last three years.

Season tickets are now on sale and can be purchased at TribeAthletics.com. NEW FOR 2024: Tailgate Terrace (located directly under the videoboard in the south end zone) is now the Tribe Touchdown Club.
