It’s easy to see why many teams are interested in him. Griffin comes in at 6-foot-3.5, 270 pounds and he’s still in high school.
South Carolina caused two major upsets in the college football world in 2022. In back-to-back weeks the Gamecocks upset No. 5 Tennessee and No. 8 Clemson.
Shane Beamer coached his team to an eight-win season and an appearance in the Gator Bowl against Notre Dame. South Carolina fought till the end but ended up losing to Notre Dame 45-38.
In Griffin’s highlight tape he can be seen dominating offensive lineman. If South Carolina could lock down his commitment for the future, he would be a huge grab for the program.
Here is the full highlight tape:
