With the losses of Eric Miller and Spencer Holstege to the transfer portal, Head Coach Ryan Walters and Offensive Coordinator Graham Harrell knew immediate help along the offensive line. Losing experience like those is tough to replace but the commitment of Missouri transfer Luke Griffin gives the Boilers some flexibility along the offensive line they didn’t have before. Griffin appeared in over 30 games in his playing time at Missouri and started mostly at guard in 2021 but appears to be able to play tackle, where he played in high school.
The former top 600 nationally ranked player in the 2019 class, Griffin was originally ranked as the 45th overall offensive tackle.
