Griffin, the No. 1 ranked junior college receiver, committed to UCF this past weekend and he knows there will be big shoes to fill. He also knows, however, the void left by Gabe Davis, Marlon Williams and Tre Nixon will provide opportunity.
“Coach [Darrell] Wyatt told me their recruiting me to come in a start. He likes the way I play,” Griffin said of the UCF receivers’ coach, who has a special bond with Texas since Sam Houston State gave him his first coaching job.
Sam Houston just happens to be in Griffin’s hometown of Huntsville, Texas, where Griffin starred in high school prior to moving on to Kilgore (Texas) Junior College.
