UCF brothers find joy in playing college football together

During the past two seasons Shaquill Griffin has competed for UCF, he's been part of many exhilarating moments on the football field.

But the junior cornerback said he witnessed something last week during preseason camp that, for him, even surpassed a Fiesta Bowl win and run to a second consecutive American Athletic Conference championship win.

Shaquill and his identical twin brother, Shaquem, lined up with the first-team defense together for the first time during their college careers during a UCF workout last week.

"I heard somebody say, 'Oh, they [have] Griffins on the same side?' That had to be one of the most exciting moments this whole camp," Shaquill Griffin said as a wide smile spread across his face.
