Griffin pursuing rare opportunity

CHAMPAIGN — Caleb Griffin understands that every recruit sells himself as an athlete. No one downplays those abilities. But that hasn’t stopped Griffin from reminding every coach he meets that they’d be getting a four-sport athlete — well versed in big moments — at kicker.

Football is where Griffin will turn his focus after high school, and the Danville senior is making the camp rounds this summer in search of a scholarship. One, he hopes his athleticism-backed big leg will provide him.

“I feel like I can compete with all of the top guys in the nation because I have before,” Griffin said.
