Chasing Dreams: A Visit with Class of 2027 Athlete Javarious Griffin Who is Set for Ole Miss Visit Tuesday
OXFORD, Miss. — While the Houston Cougars were the first to offer 2027 athlete Javarious Griffin, there will be many more to come. He’ll be in Oxford today for spring football practice at Ole Miss. The young man who hails from Cleveland, Miss. in the heart of the Mississippi Delta, and has become quite the force at Cleveland Central, is another young all-purpose player with speed and athleticism.
While he is projected to be a cornerback at the collegiate level, Griffin has been thriving at multiple positions and is always ready to embrace wherever his team puts him.

The 6-foot-1, 190-pound Under Armour All-American has a ton in his toolbox already. One thing you cannot miss when you scout him is his blazing speed, as he already boasts a 4.5 on his 40 time. He is a nightmare to cover, and when it comes to tracking the ball, he continues to separate himself from the pack.

A Visit with Javarious
We caught up with this high-ceiling prospect to preview his visit and recruitment. For Griffin, he hopes this visit will turn many of his dreams into reality. He shared with The Rebel Walk what he’s most looking forward to on his visit to Oxford.
“Firstly, I’m hoping to get an offer from Ole Miss, but I would also love to see their facilities and their team.”

Not to take anything away from the Cougars; after all, they were the first Division I team to jump on his offer sheet and recognize the potential of the rising talent, but we asked Griffin what it would mean to him if he received an early offer from the Rebels.
“I really appreciate Houston for the offer, but an offer from Ole Miss has always been a dream of mine; getting that offer would bring so much joy to me, my family, and my city.”
Javarious Griffin
When you talk with potential prospects, each one of them has his own take on what sets Ole Miss football apart. For Griffin, it is “the culture and the fact that it is in my home state of Mississippi.”
He will have the opportunity to make his case front and center amidst the Ole Miss coaching staff on Tuesday. What does he feel he could bring to his future program? “
“I feel that I could bring another ‘Dawg’ to the team; with me alongside other ‘Dawgs,’ you would definitely have a great chance at winning a National Championship.”

Griffin’s visit this week could be the game-changer in his recruitment. He will also head to Mississippi State this spring. But, regardless, this ‘Sip-made talent is manifesting big things. We look forward to bringing you the latest with him during the visit and beyond. Hotty Toddy!
