Josh Griffis no longer with FSU according to Seminoles

Josh Griffis, the highly-touted pass rusher who committed to Florida before ultimately choosing to go with Florida State, is no longer with the team according to a Seminoles’ spokesperson.

It isn’t immediately clear why Griffis– who played in seven games as a true freshman last season recording four tackles and a tackle for loss–has parted ways with the ‘Noles program. Multiple reporters noted Griffis was at practice during the start of preseason camp, but his stock began to fall as snaps weren’t coming his way as often. Florida State has a slew of talent at the position, but everything is speculation until head coach Mike Norvell makes a statement.

Griffis, from Starke, Fla., was a three-star prospect from IMG Academy.

The in-state prospect had his eyes set on the Seminoles rival and initially committed to the Gators before taking his talents to Tallahassee.

He was the No. 25 player at his position in the state of Florida for the 2020 class, according to 247 Sports.
