BOISE, Idaho — Boise State head coach Spencer Danielson continues to impress in his first offseason in the driver's seat. Danielson on Thursday announced the addition of former Florida A&M defensive back Tevin Griffey, the Broncos' sixth transfer.
Griffey, the son of 22-year MLB great Ken Griffey Jr., will immediately enroll and start classes at Boise State this week. He is a preferred walk-on for the Broncos and will participate in spring ball.
During his four years at Florida A&M, Griffey posted 24 tackles, a blocked kick and an interception returned for a touchdown in 23 appearances.
Griffey comes to the City of Trees with two years of eligibility remaining, including his possible COVID year. The 5-foot-11, 175-pound DB from Orlando attended Dr. Phillips High School before Florida A&M.
As many know, his father starred for the Seattle Mariners, Cincinnati Reds and Chicago White Sox, while his grandfather – Ken Griffey Sr. – played for the Reds, Yankees, Braves and Mariners during his 22 years in Major League Baseball. Griffey's older brother, Trey, played football at Arizona.
Boise State has now added six transfers, two on offense, three defensive players and a kicker/punter. The additions are listed below:
- Tevin Griffey: DB - Florida A&M
- Malachi Nelson: QB - USC
- Cam Camper: WR - Indiana
- Jeremiah Earby: CB - California
- Tavion Woodard: DL - Ball State
- Jarrett Reeser: K/P - San Diego State
A handful of veteran standouts also are coming back to Boise in 2024, including Michael Callahan (DT), Tyler Crowe (RB), Jonah Dalmas (K), Ashton Jeanty (RB), Markel Reed (CB), Andrew Simpson (LB) and Alexander Teubner (S).
