2025 top prospect Elijah Griffin earns Auburn offer

Savannah (Ga.) Savannah Christian Prep four-star EDGE Elijah Griffin has picked up an offer from Auburn.

On3 does not yet rank recruits during their sophomore seasons but does release a preseason Watch List of 100 recruits. Griffin made the list and was one of the two players to be given a grade of 92.

“Griffin immediately jumped out among the defensive line group with his size and on-field athleticism,” On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings Charles Power said. “The 6-foot-3.5, 270-pounder is an explosive athlete with violent finishing ability. We saw him line up as a big defensive end for Savannah Christian as a freshman and make high-level plays on a consistent basis. The athleticism checks out in the combine setting as well, where Grififn posted an electronically-timed 5.14 second 40-yard dash and vertical leap over 34 inches at the All-American Bowl Underclassman Combine in January.”

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $92k. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
