i know that they just got a really great coach that i respect a lot in coach pruitt. We have been building a really good relationship. That's a reason i'm coming out there. Tennessee also is like a second home to me because i have a lot of family out there. It would be great to have them come out and seem me if i did go to tennessee.
griffin has several uncles and cousins who live in chattanooga. In fact one of his uncles may join him in knoxville this weekend.
he was recruiting me when he was at alabama. I was going to visit alabama, but now that he's at tennessee, he's recruiting me there, griffin said. he's been building a relationship with me for a while.
i like all of the experience that he has. I know he's a really good coach and he can get me to the next level.
i just have to get stronger in the weight room, griffin said. i bring a whole different ball game when i'm playing. Everything i do it different. If you count on me then i won't let you down.
despite being three times zones away, griffin said tennessee is a realistic option for him. But he's not in a hurry to make a decision. Griffin has no plans to sign in december and said in addition to tennessee, he was also considering usc, ucla, auburn, alabama and michigan.
