After an elite collegiate playing career, Nick Grill joined BU's coaching staff in August 2021.
Grill finished his playing career at Maryland, where he was the 2021 Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year and a USILA All-American.
He played three seasons at Marquette before finishing his career with the Terps. In 2021, Grill led the team to a 15-1 season that culminated with a trip to the NCAA finals, where they were edged by Virginia, 17-16. Among his accolades were being selected as Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year and Second Team USILA All-American. Grill led the Terps in caused turnovers (19) and was tied for third in ground balls (43). He was a first team All-Big Ten selection and was named to the Big Ten and NCAA All-Tournament Teams. At Marquette, Grill was a three-time All-BIG EAST choice.
A native of Bridgewater, N.J., Grill graduated with a degree in sociology in 2021.
"For me, Nick was a no brainer!" head coach Kevin McKeown said. "He has not only been a top player in the country the past few seasons, but also comes very highly recommended as a person and coach. To have Nick here to mentor our defensive players will be huge for our development this year as a defensive unit."
