Griffin Fowler is a workhorse back with elite production and leadership qualities that make him one of the premier rising players in the Midwest.

🏈 College Coach Evaluation – Running Backs Coach Perspective

Griffin Fowler is a productive and powerful back who’s proven he can carry a high-volume workload and finish in the red zone. He’s already produced over 2,700 rushing yards and 41 total touchdowns in just two seasons, which tells you how consistent and dangerous he is out of the backfield. At 6’0”, 171 lbs, he’s got a strong base and runs behind his pads. He doesn’t waste movement, hits cutback lanes naturally, and finishes runs with physicality.

From a coaching standpoint, what excites me most is Griffin’s durability, football intelligence, and leadership. His Captain’s Award at the Dream All-American Game reinforces that he’s the type of player who leads both vocally and by example. He has good straight-line speed, solid hands out of the backfield, and an attacking mindset in pass protection.
