Stephen Griffin is the type of defensive back that Butch Jones loves — tall, long and quick.
Griffin also has the fact that he’s an early enrollee going for him. He won’t be pressed to contribute off the bat like some players were last season, but he could still see some meaningful action.
The Vols are loading up on depth and Griffin is exactly what they need at safety.
