Just days after Nash Grier returned to YouTube, his older football-playing brother Will Grier also made a big comeback after that pesky drug test sidelined him for almost two years.
Back in 2015, promising QB Will Grier originally played for the Florida Gators. His drug test came back positive for a performance-enhancing supplement, and he was swiftly suspended for the rest of the season. The entire Grier family was shaken by the incident, and his internet-famous brothers went ballistic on his haters.
Will then stirred up some drama when he shocked Gators fans by requesting to transfer away from Florida. They called him a “traitor” for abandoning them. Due to the transfer, Grier was not allowed to do much on the field throughout 2016 due to some NCAA transfer-related rules.
What has Will done in the last two years, then? Will got married to Tampa Bay Buccaneers cheerleader Jeanne Marie. Back in November last year, his daughter Eloise was born!
Jump forward to today, and he’s back on the field for the West Virginia Mountaineers (WVU) – and Nash and Hayes are beyond excited!

On Twitter, Hayes said that his excitement for Will was unmatched. “You have no idea,” he said.
Nash Grier was so excited that he even asked his fans to watch his brother play.
