The Nebraska men’s basketball team added one of the top players in the 2023 recruiting class as Gavin Griffiths will join the Husker program for the 2024-25 season. Griffiths, a 6-foot-8, 193-pound guard from Simsbury, Conn., played at Rutgers last season and will have three seasons of eligibility remaining. 
A top-50 recruit coming out of high school, Griffiths gives the Huskers size and shooting ability on the wing, as he was third among Big Ten freshmen in 3-pointers in 2023-24 according to CBB Reference.
Nebraska Coach Fred Hoiberg believes that Griffiths has the potential to flourish on the Husker roster.
“Gavin is an elite shooter with deep range,” Hoiberg said. “Spacing is so important in our system, and his skillset fits what we are looking for. He handles the ball well and possesses the length and athleticism to give us flexibility and positional size in our lineup. Gavin has a year of Big Ten experience under his belt, and you could see his confidence grow over the course of last season, especially in the last month when he shot 37 percent from 3-point range.”
