Battle-Tested TE with Proven Durability, Poised for Stanford Breakout
At 6'5", 245 lbs, junior Griffin Waiss brings Bay Area grit and Huskies championship pedigree to Stanford after transferring from UW, where he appeared in 27 games including the 2023 National Championship run—his lone catch a clutch 21-yarder vs. Colorado in 2022[3][2]. Sat out 2024 due to injury but redshirted, preserving eligibility; now a RS-senior with untapped upside as a blocking TE who didn't play football until high school yet earned Pac-12 Academic Honor Roll nods[3]. Passionate 49ers fan and guitarist with coaching chops—versatile locker room glue guy who's injury-resilient and culturally fits West Coast programs hungry for reliable depth[5][1]. Care if you need tough, smart hands for red-zone and run support.
