Tennessee transfer Stephen Griffin has officially transferred to NC State, the program announced Monday.
Griffin was a consensus 3-star safety prospect out of South Mecklenburg High School in Charlotte and appeared in 18 games with one start in two seasons as a Volunteer.
“We’re very excited to welcome Stephen to the Wolfpack family,” NC State head coach Dave Doeren said in a statement. “We recruited him in high school at South Meck and wanted him here then. He comes from a great family and adds another top in-state player from the Charlotte area to our roster.”
Griffin is the son of former Atlanta Falcons running back Steve Griffin.
NCAA rules will require Griffin to sit out the 2017 campaign before competing as a member of the Wolfpack in 2018-19.
