Zach Grant Transfers to NIU
After spending one year at St. Ambrose University, former Rochester star wide receiver Zach Grant is transferring to Northern Illinois. Grant will redshirt in 2013 with three years of eligibility remaining after a season on the sidelines.
Grant joins the Huskies as a preferred walk-on, but will have a chance to earn a scholarship in the spring.
