Grant Lewis DuBose (born June 20, 2001) is an American professional football wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Miles and Charlotte.
DuBose was born on June 20, 2001, in Montgomery, Alabama.[1] [2] He attended Park Crossing High School and was teammates with Malik Cunningham.[3] Despite competing with and against many top prospects, he was a zero-star recruit and had no offers coming into his senior year.[4] [5] He received his only offer, from the Division II Miles College, ten days before signing day and accepted it.
As a freshman at Miles in 2019, DuBose saw limited action as a backup, appearing in ten games while posting 104 receiving yards with one touchdown. The 2020 season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and during that time he worked several part-time jobs, including one bagging groceries and another at Walmart. The next year, DuBose opted to transfer. He met with James Foster, a childhood friend and backup quarterback at Division I FBS Charlotte, and Foster convinced DuBose to attend a summer tryout for the school.
DuBose made the team and exceeded his entire receiving total at Miles in his first game with Charlotte, posting 118 yards and two scores against Duke in the opener.[6] He totaled 62 receptions for 892 yards with six scores on the year. As a senior in 2022, he recorded 64 catches for 792 yards with nine scores, the latter statistic tying a program record.[7] He finished his stint at the school with 24 games played and 126 receptions for 1,684 yards with 15 scores, placing him third in team history in touchdowns even though he only played two years with them.
DuBose was selected by the Birmingham Stallions of the United States Football League (USFL) in the seventh round (55th overall) of the 2023 USFL draft.[8] He was later selected by the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League (NFL) in the seventh round (256th overall) of the 2023 NFL draft.[9] He signed his rookie contract on May 8.[10] He was released on August 29, 2023.[11] A day later, he was signed to the Packers' practice squad.[12] He was elevated to the active roster for Week 18 on January 6, 2024.[13]
DuBose signed a reserve/future contract on January 22, 2024.[14] He was released on August 27, 2024.[15]
After his release, Dubose was claimed off waivers by the Miami Dolphins on August 28, 2024.[16]
On December 15, 2024, during a game against the Houston Texans, DuBose suffered a severe head injury after a helmet-to-helmet hit by Texans defender Calen Bullock. The injury occurred in the third quarter following a pass DuBose caught over the middle of the field. Medical staff quickly attended to him, stabilizing his condition on the field before he was carted off and prepared for further evaluation.[17] Several days later, DuBose was released from the Houston hospital where he was staying.[18]
