BRADENTON, Fla. – Class of 2018 defensive back Houston Griffith should be a familiar name to Big Ten fans with a famous father who not only played at Illinois but also is a main analyst over at Big Ten Network.

Houston traded in life in Chicago for his senior season for a year at IMG Academy to play with many of the nation's top players and work on refining his skills in advance of a college career.

We caught up with Griffith on Friday to talk recruiting and the transition to a new school this late into the game.

"It is a lot faster and the guys are stronger and bigger," Griffith said. "It is always competition on the field. Every time you step on the field, either in one-on-ones or just individual, you just have got to bring the best out of everybody."
