TERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- Indiana State's Jonas Griffith has been making a name for himself in a Sycamore uniform for the last three season. He has been named an All-American twice this preseason so far while also garnering preseason All-Missouri Valley Football Conference honors.
Thursday, the redshirt senior was named to the Buck Buchanan Watch List. Griffith is one of 25 nominees to earn the recognition, presented by STATS to the most outstanding defensive player in the nation.
The linebacker earned All-American status from three different publications following the conclusion of the 2018 campaign after leading the Sycamores and ranking fifth nationally in tackles.
