He threw for a career-high 528 yards and six touchdowns in a 51-26 win over Lebanon and later had six touchdown passes and a rushing score in a 72-35 Raptors' win over Loveland. The all-star quarterback led the ECC in passing yards (3,895, a school record) and touchdowns (38), adding 506 yards and five TDs on the ground. He led the team to a 9-3 record, finishing as ECC runner-up and making it to the regional quarterfinals.

For his accomplishments last season, Griffin was recognized with many honors. He was first team all-ECC, first-team all-city Div. II (Enquirer), first-team all-SWO District and first-team all-Ohio Div. II. He also played a year of varsity basketball for the Raptors.

A Dean's List student who is active in community service, Griffin is planning to play at the next level but has not yet selected a college. His favorite athlete is Justin Fields, favorite entertainer is Kevin Hart, favorite book is Friday Night Lights, favorite movie is Remember the Titans and most-like-to-meet is LeBron James.

COACH'S QUOTE – "Griffin has an incredible work ethic that allows himself to play great in big games. He is a committed student-athlete who strives to be great in everything that he does."
