He averaged 2.1 points per game, including 1.6 rebounds and 0.8 assists during his lone season in Lincoln. He played in just 16 games during the 2024-25 season, and did not suit up for the Huskers during the College Basketball Crown this offseason.

Griffiths was slightly more productive during his time as a Scarlet Knight. He averaged 5.8 points per game as a sophomore across 32 appearances as a true freshman. He started in three of those matchups.
