About Langston

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

My gameplay style is down hill and sideline to sideline. I am a North South all purpose one cut running back that runs fast with vision. I tackle with intent and run with focus on getting yards. I try to move the sticks with each carry and will fight for extra yards. I always fall forward and do not run out of bounds. I can catch out the backfield and love to lead block and pick up blitzers.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I am extremely competitive and confident in my ability to get better daily. My goal is to shut down my side of the field on defense and finish tackles. I enjoy blocking on offense and during interception run backs. Special Teams is also an area I enjoy on kickoff and as a returner. As a running back I seek contact and am a one cut back. One person should rarely bring me down.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

I received multiple AVID, GPA and school character awards.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I am a team player. I cheer my teammates and want them to be successful. I trust them and hold myself accountable for my job on the field so my teammates can trust me. I am a tone setter on the field. My team follows my lead for hard aggressive play.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

I faced academic challenges in elementary abd early middle school due to teaching deficits. I overcame those through 1:1 work with my mom and dedicating myself to a fixed schedule for homework. Another significant challenge will be not having my older brother at home. He is heading to college. I will not have him there daily for advice and support.

What type of college are you looking for?

I am looking for a college that has a good academic program in addition to a good athletic network. The school must have my major in Sports Management or Business with an emphasis in Sports Management. I hope to join a college that promotes student athlete. I am a student first and plan to graduate before entering the NFL.

Griffen is an explosive running back who uses his track background to create big play opportunities. His speed is evident as soon as he is able to get into open space, allowing him to separate from defenders and turn routine carries into explosive gains. Griffen combines that athleticism with solid vision, showing the ability to see running lanes and hit the hole quickly. He is particularly effective when he reaches the second level, where his acceleration becomes difficult for defenders to match. His patience allows blocks to develop before he attacks downhill with confidence. As he continues to refine his overall skill set and gain experience, Griffen has the potential to become a dynamic offensive weapon. His speed, vision and explosiveness make him a name to watch in a stacked Centennial league.
