The former Duck landed at the University of Central Oklahoma in Edmund, Oklahoma. The Bronchos have 10 starters back on offense but their leading returning running back had 71 yards last year. They open their season Thursday September 5th against Pittsburg State.
On the school website, here's what they said about Taj:
Another newcomer, Taj Griffin, arrived on campus just days before fall camp, but is prepared to enter the mix and add another talented element to the Broncho backfield. Griffin spent the past four seasons at Oregon. He was granted a fifth year by the NCAA just last week after only appearing in three games in 2018. Griffin tallied 879 yards on 138 carries at Oregon, scoring six touchdowns in the run game. He also had 408 yards receiving on 30 catches, including an 83-yard touchdown reception last season, and scored four times catching the ball out of the backfield.
He had some moments at Oregon but never made it to the top of the depth chart. Good luck to him. Hope he gets a chance to play some football and finish his degree.
