5-Star CB Olaijah Griffin Commits to USC over Alabama, Tennessee, Oregon

Prized cornerback Olaijah Griffin is bringing his skill set to the USC Trojans starting in 2018.

Tom VanHaaren of ESPN reported Griffin committed to the Trojans on Wednesday.

Griffin originally committed to UCLA last July, but he was keeping his options open by not signing a letter of intent with the Bruins.

“I’m committed to UCLA right now, but I’m not signing until February,” he told VolQuest’s Jesse Simonton (via Cody McClure of Saturday Down South). “I really like Tennessee.”

The son of rapper Warren G and godson of former NFL linebacker Willie McGinest, Griffin has carved out his own niche as one of the nation's premier cover cornerbacks in the 2018 recruiting class.
