One of the fastest prospects I've seen on film period and as a sophomore...wow. The entire defense is taking exaggerated angles to catch him and he still blows them out of the water. It was like I was watching NCAA football and I had a RB with 99 speed and agility. Once he develops a little more physically, this kid is going to a STAR.

Would love to see another RB with that last name in S&G. Just for old times sake.

Seriously though, his talent is in Harvin/Ginn/Bush territory. Taj would do magical things in this offense under Urban & Co. That kid just flies... ONE yard and a cloud of dust. And with a name like Griffin, where else best to show it than in Columbus?

The move he put on the db at 2:57 is pretty sick
This kid reminds me of dontre wilson when I watched that film. I would like to see his HS use him some in the passing game as well. I think he'd make a fine pivot, rb/wr hybrid. Hes dangerous 1 on 1 and in the open field

Rivals$--Bucks, Ducks and Dawgs to battle for Rivals250 RB?

Taj says Oregon, Georgia, and Ohio State are standing out for him. He likes the wide open offenses but also knows a pro-style will prep him for the NFL.

247 $ - Top five for 5-star Taj Griffin

Oregon, USC, Clemson, Ohio State & Florida State. Says USC, Oregon & Clemson are recruiting him the hardest and he wants to play in an up-tempo offense. Has taken several visits already and wants to visit USC & Ohio State.

 

[ShowMeBuck]

What a stud! Open space player for sure. Would sure look good in our offense. Seems more explosive than Harris but perhaps not as versatile?

*edit: by versatile I mean that Taj might not be as good between the tackles but he does look like he could be effective in a pivot role ala Dontre in our offense so he is certainly versatile as well! Kid sure has that quick twitch athleticism you like to see.

Big time Oregon lean from what I'm hearing...
Would be very surprised to see him land elsewhere.
