The GT secondary has received a lot of hype as of late, and at the center of it is Redshirt Senior safety, Corey Griffin.
The early years
Griffin attended the same high school as Calvin Johnson, AAAA powerhouse Sandy Creek in Tyrone, Georgia. Surprisingly, he wasn’t heavily recruited out of high school even after going 56-2 with 2 state championships and earning a First-team all-state selection. Griffin was listed as a two-star recruit according to Rivals, Scout and 247, and received offers from Western Carolina, UAB, Ball State, Indiana, and Georgia Tech. CG committed to UAB on January 8th, 2013, but surprised Yellow Jacket fans when he committed and signed on national signing day.
