Griffin makes a lot of sense as an important prospect because Tennessee needs bodies at corner. Three cornerbacks exhausted their eligibility from the 2017 roster. Junior Rashaan Gaulden could forgo his final senior for the NFL draft.
The Vols need players who can fill a lot of playing time. With no secondary commits at this time, it very well might be the most important need.
Griffin is a 4-star prospect who could play right away. He is a UCLA commit, but following an official visit to Knoxville, Tenn., he took all mention of the Bruins off his Twitter account. Its a good sign for Tennessee.
