Will he commit?
Over this past weekend, one of the best defensive tackles in the nation among his class checked out the USC campus and met with Lincoln Riley and his staffers.
Savannah Christian Prep defensive lineman Elijah Griffin took to his personal X account to share this message about the experience:If one really wanted to read into the post, you could say that the "Can't wait to be back!!" note is an encouraging sign. Then again, even if he doesn't wind up being a Trojan, he could quite possibly find himself in the ever-expanding Big Ten Conference, and thus back with a visiting team.
“Griffin, from Savannah Christian Prep in Savannah, Ga., is ranked the nation’s best overall prospect as a strongside defensive end by Rivals.com," James writes. "He is also a five-star, top-5 prospect for ESPN and 247Sports . The 6-foot-3.5, 270-pound defensive lineman made 82 tackles, 30 tackles for loss, and 14.5 sacks during his sophomore campaign. He had 69 tackles, eight tackles for a loss, five quarterback hurries, and 3.5 sacks as a freshman.
