A native of Ontario, Canada (Kenner High School), he was a two-time United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association All-American, earning first team laurels as a senior in 1999 when he led all NCAA Division I players with 110 points and was named the winner of the prestigious Enner Award as the USILA National Player of the Year. He led Delaware to its best season in school history in 1999 when the Blue Hens went 14-3 and advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals. A year later he served as an assistant coach for the Blue Hens. A 2000 graduate of Delaware, Grant moved on to an All-Star career with professional indoor and outdoor lacrosse teams and with the Candadian National Team.
