Will Grier accounted for 90 touchdowns this fall, he’s Parade Magazine’s All America Player of the Year, and he may be on the field starting at quarterback at the University of Florida as early as this fall.
Yet Will still claims he’s the second most well-known member of his family.
Nash Grier, his younger brother by two years, has several million followers on Vine — the video equivalent of Twitter. His Twitter account has over 1 million followers and the funny thing is, a year ago none of this existed.
It was also a little more than a year ago that Will began getting some national notoriety—but nothing on the level of his “gone viral in six seconds” brother. Nash has been all over the northern hemisphere in the past two months—including Iceland for New Years and a guest at the Grammys. Teen girls hang on his every word, a dream come true for any teen boy.
It’s amazing how much the Charlotte (N.C.) area based Grier family household has changed since the beginning of 2013.
“It’s pretty accurate. It’s funny though, that has definitely changed just this year,” Nash told Saturday Down South. “And there’s definitely a fine line between who knows what. When a bunch of teenagers see us, they say ‘That’s Nash’s brother who plays football’ but with older fans, I’m definitely Will’s brother. It’s pretty funny how it works. I think we both help each other with the recognition.
“Me and Will have a pretty unique relationship. It’s always been goofy. We just mess around and do stupid stuff. We have a lot of fun. When we do Vines, we’re just trying to make people laugh.”
Will told SDS that Nash was actually a pretty good football player before he began working on his future career in showbiz at the age of 15. Things blew up from there, and younger siblings Hayes and Skylynn have joined with Will to help Nash push the stardom. Skylynn is the little girl in several of Nash’s “Vines” and has 13,000 Twitter followers–and she’s not even five years old yet. Hayes has almost 200,000 followers. For those keeping track at home, Will has 23,000.
