Four-Star DL Prospect with Elite Size and High-Impact Potential at Cincinnati
Tim Griffin is a 6'5", 275-lb four-star defensive lineman (ranked No. 21 nationally by Rivals) who chose Cincinnati over Alabama and Florida State, signaling elite ambition and a high ceiling. As a true freshman in 2025, he appeared in two games and recorded his first collegiate tackle against Northwestern State, showing early readiness despite limited snaps. His differentiators include rare size-speed balance for a DL, intense recruitment pedigree, and a history of 25 tackles with five for loss as a high school senior. While not yet a stat leader, his intensity, coachability (History major), and proven ability to win at the region level make him a high-upside fit for teams seeking developmental DL talent with NFL potential.
