Griffin joins a team that, like Tech, has lost its leading rusher from the 2021 season. Last season, the Beavers finished 7-6 and ranked third in the Pac-12 in rushing yards per game (212.3). Running back B.J. Baylor led the conference in rushing at 102.8 yards per game. Griffin has three seasons of eligibility remaining.
