Georgia football offers middle school DT Elijah Griffin

The Georgia Bulldogs have offered a football scholarship to talented recruit Elijah Griffin. Griffin is a member of the class of 2025, so he’s only an eighth grader.

Griffin already has impressive size and strength for an eighth grader. He’s 6-foot-5 and weights 260 pounds.

Griffin currently plays football for Savannah Christian Preparatory School. He’s only 13 years old right now. Griffin should have a bright future ahead.

Kirby Smart and the University of Georgia aren’t afraid to offer young players very early in their football careers. Griffin has size and speed that aren’t fair at the middle school level. Griffin has some dominant tape on Hudl.

Griffin will continue to grow and should become a top recruit in his class. It is pretty rare for UGA to offer any player a scholarship this early. We’ll keep an eye on Griffin as he adjusts to the high school level in 2021.

Elijah Griffin announced his scholarship offer via his Twitter account. Griffin states that it is his first college offer.
