Oh, it looks intended... I like the grain on a B&W photo like that

If you want to fix it, you can try blurring and/or using a "reduce noise" filter.

Very nicely shot. The grains add to the composition.

Here are my suggestions:
1. I would have covered a little more of his face for a more mysterious look.
2. That dead pixel on his left eye, I would have removed that in post processing.
3. I like the fold in the right side of the hood. I would've matched it to the left side too or eliminated the little blur on the front of the left side.

But overall, its a nice shot and a good composition.

Keep experimenting.
