GLENVILLE -
The name Jordan Griffin may ring a bell to several people around the
Clarksburg area. Griffin was an all-conference standout for three
straight years as an RCB Eagle. And now in his senior season at
Glenville State, Griffin leads the Pioneers in receiving yards. But he
says it didn't come easy.
"I didn't see much of the field during my first two years and then going
against the starters and the one's in practice and not being able to
run some of the routes. Throughout the years you've got to adjust and
learn little things to do to get separation and get open," Glenville
State wide receiver Jordan Griffin said.
And Griffin has been able to do just that, leading the Pioneers with 69
catches for 713 yards and eight touchdowns. He says his pride carried
him to a breakout senior season.
"When I started as a junior, you're looked upon to make plays and along
with everyone else on the field," Griffin said. "I just take pride in
routes and catching the ball and do everything I can to help the team
win, regardless if I'm the leading receiver or not."
Heading into the final game of his career this Saturday at Seton Hill,
Griffin says he wants people to remember him as a great player on the
field. But if football doesn't work out, he intends to put his Marketing
degree to good use.
"If I could play football somewhere else after this I'm going to try to,
as long as I can," Griffin said. "if not, then I'd like to move to a
city like New York and get out of here for a while and get a job like a
normal person."
