Running back Rocko Griffin, who has left the Vanderbilt football program, ran for 517 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns in 2021.
Vanderbilt Commodores running back Rocko Griffin has left Vanderbilt’s football program. Griffin ran for 517 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns last season.
The junior running back has received just nine carries in 2022. The Commodores will miss Griffin for their game at Georgia in Week 7.
Georgia dominated Vanderbilt, 62-0, last year. The Commodores will be motivated to play better this time around, but they will have to do it without Griffin.
Vanderbilt (3-3) is off to a much better start to the 2022 college football season. The Commodores have accumulated 1,005 rushing yards this season, which is part of the reason they are performing better in 2022.
Griffin has the fourth-most carries of any player on Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt starting running back Ray Davis is coming off a 100-yard performance in last week’s loss to Ole Miss.
