Greenville, N.C. (WNCT) -- The Pirates have selected Mitch Griffis as the starting quarterback for their season opener against Alabama next week, according to a news release. Griffis, a former Wake Forest player, began his college football career at the university back in 2020 before transferring to Texas Tech last year. Head coach Blake Harrell claimed Griffis felt more comfortable with the offense due to its similarity to the one he utilized during his time with the Red Raiders.
However, Miami transfer Emory Williams could also take the field. Harrell stated that he anticipates seeing both Griffis and Williams play in the opener, and that it will be interesting to observe the development process moving forward. Throughout his career, Griffis has thrown for 2,314 yards and 17 touchdowns, boasting a 61% completion rate.
