Holdyn Jerian Grant (born October 9, 1992) is an American professional basketball player for the Chicago Bulls of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played college basketball with the University of Notre Dame and was considered one of the top college players in the nation for the 2014–15 season. After being selected with the 19th overall pick by the Washington Wizards in the 2015 NBA draft, his rights were sent to the Atlanta Hawks and then moved again to the New York Knicks on draft night.
After a high school career at prep power DeMatha Catholic High School, Grant came to Notre Dame to play for coach Mike Brey. After redshirting his freshman season, Grant was named to the Big East Conference All-Rookie team after averaging 12.3 points and 4.97 assists per game. In his second season with the Irish, Grant was named second-team All-Big East after averaging 13.3 points and 5.5 assists per game.
After the 2012–13 season, Notre Dame moved from the Big East to the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). Based on his strong sophomore campaign, Grant was voted onto the preseason All-ACC team. Grant had a strong start to the season, leading the Fighting Irish at 19.01 points per game during their 8–4 start. But on December 23, 2013 Grant was ruled academically ineligible for the rest of the season and forced to withdraw from Notre Dame. Grant chose to return to Notre Dame rather than declare his eligibility for the 2014 NBA draft.
Grant returned to Notre Dame for the 2014–15 season. Grant immediately helped the Fighting Irish to a 20–3 start and Grant personally had a breakout season as the leader of the team's highly efficient offense. He was named to the midseason watch lists for the John R. Wooden Award and the Oscar Robertson Trophy. The Grant-led Irish finished the year with a 32-6 record and an ACC Tournament championship; they advanced to the Elite 8 in the Midwest Region, where they lost to an undefeated Kentucky team by 2 points.
