Caleb Griffin took to Twitter to announce he has committed to Lovie Smith and the Illini. He is a 6-foot-3, 180-pound kicker from Danville High School in Danville, Illinois. He isn’t rated or ranked on 247Sports but in fairness, they only have 29 kickers listed. I assume they don’t have scouts checking out too many kickers around the country.
Griffin now makes commitment No. 20 for the Illini in 2018. They were in the top 50 at one time but they have slipped down to No. 53 in the nation over the last week. This was due to other players committing to schools and getting to the magic number of 25 commitments.
