Grant Monroe Hermanns (born March 5, 1998) is an American professional football offensive tackle who is a free agent. He played college football for the Purdue Boilermakers from 2016 to 2020, appearing in a total of 33 games and being named honorable mention All-Big Ten Conference as a senior. He was signed by the New York Jets of the National Football League (NFL) as an undrafted free agent in 2021 and later played two games for them in 2022. He had stints with the Miami Dolphins in 2022 and with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2022 to 2023, but saw no playing time with either team. He later returned to the Jets in 2023 but was released shortly afterwards.

Early life

Grant Monroe Hermanns was born on March 5, 1998, and grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico.[1] He attended Rio Rancho High School in Rio Rancho, and was a four-year letter winner. In 2013, he won first place at the high school research exposition in chemistry/biochemistry. As a junior and senior, in football, he earned All-Metro honors from the Albuquerque Football Coaches Association and All-State from the New Mexico Coaches Association. His team won the 2014 New Mexico 6A state championship after compiling an undefeated 13–0 record.[2]

Staph infection

In hopes of improving his chances of being recruited to a Division I school, Hermanns participated in several combines entering his senior year. During the 40-yard dash, he suffered a hip avulsion fracture, but nonetheless continued and finished the combine. The fracture resulted in him missing several football games. He eventually recovered and played in six games of the season, and performed well enough that he was given All-Metro and All-State honors.[2][3]

"But then I started getting these weird fevers," he later said.[3]

I would be at 104 degrees just randomly or I'd go all the way down to 94, a sub-fever. And it would happen all the time, like every other day. I'd be falling asleep in class, just covered in sweat. My parents didn't know what was going on and they took me to the doctor multiple times. The doctor said, 'You're fine, nothing's wrong.' They tested my white cell count and they couldn't find anything.[3]

Despite being told he was fine, Hermanns' weight started to decrease at a rapid rate, going from 265 pounds (120 kg) down to 190 pounds (86 kg) in only a couple months. His mother brought him to a physical therapist, and when asked to sit on the table, his left hip was elevated much higher than his right. "They were like, 'Oh, that's not right,'" he recalled.[3]

At the next day's football practice, Hermanns believed in the bathroom he was urinating blood. Later, it was discovered that it was his liver enzymes exiting his body, meaning that it was deteriorating due to an illness. He was immediately brought to the emergency room, where an MRI discovered a pomegranate-sized cyst located in his hip. His cyst was removed the next day through surgery.[3]

Doctors told Hermanns and his family that the staph infection may have resulted from a cut received during a football game. He was told that it had entered his hip and started attacking his body in the subsequent months. They also said that if he had been several years older, the infection may have been fatal, as it is better handled by younger patients.[3]

Hermanns lost feeling in a section of his left leg, as well as his left foot, after the surgery; one spot is still numb due to nerve damage resulting from the infection. He had to re-learn walking, but within time became closer to normal. As the football season had stopped by this time, Hermanns focused his efforts on wrestling. Just a couple months after the near-fatal staph infection, Hermanns entered the New Mexico Class 6A State Wrestling Championships and won the heavyweight division.[3]

College career

After graduating from Rio Rancho, Hermanns committed to Purdue University over offers from at least eleven other schools, including New Mexico.[4] At Purdue, he majored in industrial management.[2] He redshirted his first year, 2016. He added 40 pounds in 2017, and, despite being a redshirt-freshman, made the Boilermakers' starting lineup.[5] That year, he started the first six games before suffering a season-ending knee injury. He helped block for a total of 403.1 yards offense a game and was named a 2017 Academic All-Big Ten Conference selection.[2]

As a sophomore in 2018, Hermanns started nine games and was named an Academic All-Big Ten selection. He helped block for the Purdue offense which averaged over 440 yards of offense each game. He was named team captain for his junior year, 2019, and started all 12 games, earning Academic All-Big Ten honors while helping the team compile an average of 393.2 yards of offense per game.[2] As a senior, Hermanns started all six games of Purdue's COVID shortened season,[6] was named team captain, received his fourth Academic All-Big Ten Conference selection[7] and was named honorable mention All-Big Ten.[8][9]

All college players were given an extra year of eligibility due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[10] Despite being eligible for one additional season due to this, Hermanns decided to declare for the NFL draft.[11] He finished his four-year career at Purdue with a total of 33 games played, all at the left tackle position.[8]
