The Nebraska Cornhuskers plan on mounting a big campaign to land William Griffin. Reports say that the Nebraska Huskers are hoping to take in as many as four offensive linemen for its 2021 class. This opens up an opportunity for the team to snag the three-star offensive tackle, who is increasingly getting more attention from other teams. Griffin could prove to be a huge asset for the Cornhuskers, reports 247 Sports. He ranks 14th in Tennessee and 47th among offensive tackles.
William Griffin, a hot prospect
William Griffin, who lives in Tennessee, is one of the most in-demand offensive linemen in the 2021 class.
So far, Griffin has amassed a total of 15 scholarship offers from football programs all over the country. Due to his attendance in many football camps, he picked up major offers from the Ohio State Buckeyes, Alabama Crimson Tide, and the LSU Tigers.
Griffin is still a puzzle waiting to be solved among predictors. For example, 247Sports has not published its Crystal Predictions for the player yet. According to his recent statements, it seems William Griffin is eyeing two programs: the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Alabama Crimson Tide. He also spoke positively of the Tennessee Volunteers and the Kentucky Wildcats.
But given Nebraska’s decent recruitment track record in the past months, it is not surprising if Griffin will commit to the Lincoln program.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers just have to play their cards right to stand out in his increasingly crowded offer list.
