Harvard Transfer DL Thor Griffith Commits to Louisville

This story will be updated.

 A few days after landing former Texas Tech quarterback Tyler Shough, the Louisville football program has officially landed transfer No. 2 in this cycle.

Thor Griffith, a defensive tackle who spent the first four years of his collegiate career at Harvard, announced Sunday that he has committed to play his final season of eligibility with the Cardinals.

The 6-foot-2, 320-pound lineman has been one of the best defensive tackles in the Ivy League for the past two seasons, earning All-Ivy League First-Team honors as both a senior and junior for the Crimson.

This past season before entering the transfer portal back on Nov. 24, Griffith was one of the best defensive tackles in all of the FCS. Starting all 10 games, he collected a team-best 11.0 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks, while also collecting 55 tackles overall, eight quarterback hurries and a forced fumble. According to Pro Football Focus, with a defensive grade of 89.3, he was the second-highest rated defensive tackle in the FCS, behind only Penn's Joey Slackman (90.1).

The Portsmouth, N.H. native was just as disruptive as junior the season before. That year in 10 games and eight starts, he collected 46 tackles, 12.0 for loss, 5.0 sacks, and three quarterback hurries.
