Houston Griffith named a TOP 18 of 2018 by Rivals

[BretEpic]

He stood out to me last season in the three games I watched, but I didn't know he's this highly touted already. Congrats to the kid, impressive even if rankings are bunk (to some).

Considering Epenesa is a top kid in 2017, good to see back-to-back years where an IL kid "ranks" nationally. After the last few five-stars didn't exactly pan out thus far (Treadwell excepting), I worried the national types might swear us off.

I saw him at QB at Rice and he was just as good is not better then McNabb. Will be in the secondary this year as well.

Yeah, cornerback is the word. He looked plenty fast, has NFL bloodlines, and is fricking 6-1ish. Lot to like on the team in general.

I am already wondering in '16/'17 if he starts in secondary in addition to QB. Maybe only on 3rd downs who knows

Heard he was the only one who could remotely cover Jeff Thomas from East Side at that camp

Thomas is amazing.

i wonder if he will play all 4 years, baseball is taking over young kids lives

I don't believe Griffith played baseball. He looks like the real deal, a corner like this will be a great addition to Coach Daves defense. With PC/Loyola/BR all passing more MC needs to improve their secondary play from last season.

More then likely confusion w Alek Thomas. Anyway will have to see how they look at B/W soon. Marist,with 7 starters back on offense, will test them. As the season goes on should get settled on D. Could see some high scoring affairs week 1 and 3 v Celtic.

 

[FBCoach8]

my fault it was thomas, too many kids to keep track of, i apologize both are super young and very talented!

Speaking of Treadwell, how is his recovery going?
