NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Four-star and consensus top 100 prospect Declan Griffiths has signed with Vanderbilt men's basketball, head coach Mark Byington announced Wednesday.
A 6-foot-7 sharpshooter from St. Thomas More in Connecticut, Griffiths is ranked as high as the No. 36 prospect in the class of 2027 by On3. The service has him ranked as the No. 12 small forward in the class and the No. 1 player in Connecticut.
"Declan is a very important signing for us and was a priority in our recruiting," Byington said. "It’s obvious he is an elite shooter, but he is much more than that. He has great size for his position, is athletic and has a great feel for the game. My favorite thing about him is the way he competes and you can tell he loves the game."
Griffiths has excelled in the prep ranks, earning numerous recognitions including UAA All-Circuit honors, an invite to the Under Armour Future 60 last summer and an invite to the NBPA Top 100 camp as well.
Last summer, Griffiths helped the Middlesex Magic to a 14-6 mark on the UAA circuit. The winger averaged nearly three made 3-pointers per game over the summer sessions.
Griffiths shot 37 percent from three on 151 attempts last summer. He hit four-or-more triples nine times on the circuit. He led the program in scoring, averaging 11.1 points per game while also hauling in a team-high 91 rebounds.
The Simsbury, Connecticut, native will join the Commodores for the 2027-28 campaign. His older brother, Gavin, is currently a senior for the Temple Owls.
