Former high school great Derrick Griffin playing for Texas Southern

HOUSTON (FOX 26) -
After two years of misery waiting to get eligible to play college football, former Rosenberg Terry star Derrick Griffin is working out with Texas Southern and will play for the Tigers in 2015.

Griffin, rated the No. 3 wide receiver in the nation in 2013, signed with the Miami Hurricanes, but was an academic non-qualifier and never played there.

While sitting out the 2014 season because he was non-qualifier, Griffin enrolled as a student at Texas Southern and achieved his goal of becoming eligible so he can be a student-athlete for the Tigers.

"It's a great, great feeling," Griffin said in an interview with FOX 26 Sports. "I've been waiting too long for this.

"It was just a process. It's something I had to go through. I should have took care of it in high school, but I went a different route. I'm here now.

"This is my team. Here we go."

"Derrick is the answer to the question a parent would ask,'why TSU?'

"He had the opportunity, based upon his athletic ability, to go anywhere in the nation, but because he didn't qualify nobody reached out to him. Texas Southern cares about the person, not Derrick the football player. We got him in a summer-bridge program, got him eligible and that's the reason why Derrick Griffin is here, because we care about graduating student-athletes. It's not just about football."

Regardless of the school, I like when they get the student/athlete and get him in class, hopefully for him he will take care of business because that NFL stuff isn't guaranteed, good luck to him except on September 5th
 



Who was the last guy that was an all-state, local, once-in a lifetime super star that was hyped up by TSU? a few years back I forgot his name...
 
I heard a report today that Shannon has been taking over the offensive practices and telling the jsu alum to be the ceo, and let the coaches do their jobs.
Example: the jsu alum saw a missed assignment and told the player to take a lap, Shannon said; coach he has to run his lap on his own time right now it's practice time and he needs to practice.
From what I understand the jsu alum responded with 99 you owe me one got back on his golf cart and drove to the other end of the field.

1.Can someone tell me why the hell is the jsu alum needs a golf cart @ durley field?
2. If this is true TSU may be bout to kick erry body azz this yea where as 2-3 losses last year were just due to dumb shat by the coach.
