“Freshman Elijah Griffin, the No. 1 defensive tackle prospect in the 2025 ESPN 300, made a great impression in spring practice and should contribute immediately,” ESPN’s Mark Schlabach wrote of Griffin. All four recruiting services ranked Griffin as the No. 1 defensive player for the 2025 recruiting class. Even with Georgia signing the No. 1 EDGE and the No. 1 inside linebacker in the 2025 recruiting class, the chatter around Griffin this spring has dwarfed that of the other 5-star prospects that Georgia brought in. Griffin took advantage of that this spring, quickly making an impact for the Bulldogs. His power and size showed up on G-Day, where the freshman won a number of 1-on-1 battles while working against the second-team offensive line. Griffin finished the game with just 1 tackle, but he was consistently in the backfield on the afternoon. The Bulldogs had three defensive linemen drafted in the 2025 NFL Draft, while Naz Stackhouse signed with the Green Bay Packers as an undrafted free agent. Add in that Christen Miller, the most veteran member of Georgia’s defensive line, missed spring practice due to labrum surgery, and you have plenty of snaps available. Miller will return by the start of fall camp and Georgia is hopeful that some of its other 5-star defensive linemen — namely Jordan Hall and Joseph Jonah-Ajonye — can play big roles on a reloaded defensive line. But it’s clear Griffin has the tools and opportunity to help Georgia right away. Now, it seems there is an expectation that he will do so.
