Georgia Tech running back Jamious Griffin will redshirt this season, Griffin's father, Tyrone Griffin, told the AJC on Wednesday.
"We're just going to redshirt," Griffin said. "Jamious is keeping a positive attitude through the season and still practicing hard and getting better in the weight room, staying focused in school and all that stuff."
Griffin has had difficulty getting on the field as he's competed with Jahmyr Gibbs, Jordan Mason and Dontae Smith for playing time. Griffin received his only carries against Kennesaw State, when he ran five times for 16 yards. In his first two seasons, Griffin ran 84 times for 354 yards and two touchdowns, often displaying the explosive speed, agility and will that made him a four-star prospect coming out of Rome High.
Griffin could stay, as the possible departure of Mason (who is in his senior season but has his extra COVID-19 season) could open space in the backfield, or possibly look into transferring.
