Recruiting never takes a day off and the Bulls are always at work. USF has offered 2012 linebacker prospect Dallas Griffiths.
Dallas Griffiths, the 6-2 225-pound linebacker out of North Florida Christian High School in Tallahassee, Florida is a 3-star athlete that is starting to get more attention as camps and recruiting continues to heat up this summer.
Griffiths is a very athletic linebacker that has tremendous speed for his size and will only get bigger at the next level. He runs the 40-yard dash in 4.5 seconds, runs the shuttle run in 4.32 seconds and has a 32" vertical (better than some wide receivers we have talked about on here).
Griffiths has a few offers in hand now. Georgia Tech (not in good shape with NCAA), Maryland, and Southern Miss have all offered (even Liberty has offered) and now the Bulls have joined the mix.
Now the name Griffiths should be familiar to the Bulls. His brother, Chase Griffiths was part of the Bulls team for two seasons, seeing action in only one game last year. He was a tight end that converted to fullback, but decided to transfer out of the program. This should not affect his decision, but then again, we don't know how the Griffiths family views the Bulls, so it could play a factor at some point. It would be nice to pick him up in recruiting, but we will have to wait and see what happens.
Chase and Dallas are brothers
ReplyDeleteIt will be interesting to see how the departure of Chase effects Dallas' recruiting. Though, if Chase had left unhappy, I doubt Dallas would even be considering USF.
ReplyDeleteSo, we've at least got a shot.
Chase seemed to leave with mutual understanding with the coaching staff, so I don't think there is any hostile feelings from the family to USF, plus Chase was a Leavitt recruit, different mix with Holtz now.
ReplyDeleteChase was recruited as a LB by Leavitt. Holtz and Co. converted him to FB/TE when it became apparent that he didn't have much of a future at LB with the team.
