Notre Dame’s Iron-Man Safety Who Kept Grinding
Houston Griffith was a high-upside, ultra-reliable Notre Dame safety whose value was durability, versatility, and toughness: in the 2022 season, he played all 13 games, finished with 33 tackles and a tackle for loss, and closed his Notre Dame career with a school-record 62 games played. He was a former four-star recruit and consistently drew praise for his work in the weight room and steady presence, though he never became a big turnover-maker. If you want a physical, experienced defender who brings maturity and depth, Griffith fits the bill; if you need splash-play ball production, that’s not his calling card.
