Justin Griffin brings freshman upside to Monmouth’s backfield
As a 2026 freshman RB for Monmouth, Justin Griffin arrives with real in-state pedigree from Passaic, where he piled up 3,625 rushing yards and 30 touchdowns in 28 games, including a school-record 304-yard outing; that kind of volume speaks to toughness, workload tolerance, and a nose for the end zone. Early roster listings show him at 5-foot-10, 180 pounds, suggesting a compact build that fits a physical, downhill style, and his value is in the ceiling: a runner who can grow into a steady chain-mover if his transition to college speed goes smoothly.
