Five-Star Cornerback Olaijah Griffin, Who Is Warren G's Son, Commits to USC
Five-star cornerback Olaijah Griffin, the son of West Coast rap legend Warren G (and step-nephew of Dr. Dre), is keeping it in the 213. The No. 3 cornerback and No. 28 player overall committed to USC on National Signing Day, becoming the Trojans' fourth-five star commit for the class of 2018. Griffin picked the Trojans, who signed coach Clay Helton to a contract extension through 2023 on Tuesday, over Tennessee, Alabama and Oregon.
His commitment came with plenty of star power—Warren G was in attendance, as was fellow 213 member Snoop Dogg and USC alum/Super Bowl champion Willie McGinest.
If you want to learn more about Griffin the player, our Chris Johnson has you covered. The rest of this article will be devoted to listing as many cringeworthy West Coast rap/football puns as I could possibly come up with.
• When Tennessee made a late push, recruiting analysts acted like they forgot about Clay.
• Olaijah Griffin has committed to USC because he wanted to play ball through the hall of He-Ri-Tage
• Olaijah Griffin will join a USC secondary that's been able to Regulate opposing pass offenses quite well over the past few seasons.
• Olaijah Griffin simply had to spurn Tennessee—it was justifiable. Jeremy Pruitt mistaked him for someone who was liable, for many touchdowns.
• Clay Helton is representing for the Trojans all across the world, still, signin' them corners and them Amon-Ra's, girl.
• Clay Helton told Griffin to throw up two fingers if he feels the same way—Clay puttin it down for Californ-i-a.
You can now proceed with your day.
