Expert Analysis
Alin Edouard | Prep Redzone Scout
Michael stands out with his timing, awareness, and ability to stay attached to routes. He reads the quarterback’s eyes well, trusts his breaks, and closes windows before the ball ever arrives. What really separates him is how quickly he transitions from backpedal to drive, cutting off separation and forcing tough throws. He’s aggressive when attacking the catch point, tackles with confidence in space, and plays with the type of discipline that keeps big plays off the board. Michael consistently brings energy and reliability to the back end of a defense.

Read EvaluationCole Dobbins | Prep Redzone Scout
Another experienced DB from an Austin powerhouse, Michael is a slightly undersized corner with loose hips and great ball skills. With a great first step, Griffin excels at keeping receivers in front of him and has the twitch necessary to pick off or bat down balls. He also displays good footwork and little wasted movement, resulting in efficient tackling. Griffin possesses the ability to track balls like a receiver, which led to 2 interceptions and 5 breakups in 2024. Expect Griffin to continue to grow into his frame and develop his change of direction heading into his senior season. He currently holds offers from Eastern Kentucky, Missouri State, and Colgate.
