Oklahoma Baptist University has signed Ama, La., guard Trey Griffin to a men's basketball scholarship for the 2005-06 season.

Griffin comes to OBU from West Hills Junior College in Coalinga, Calif., which was the same junior college that produced recent Bison standout Jamal Forcheney.

Griffin, who will major in business, is 5-11 and averaged 15.9 points and 4.5 rebounds per game, marks that made him WHJC's leading scorer and second-leading rebounder. He shot 44 percent from three-point range and 79.3 percent from the free throw line.

"Some people think he is under-sized, but he plays bigger than 5-11," said Bison coach Doug Tolin. "He's excellent, both offensively and defensively. He has been his junior college's best defensive player for the last two years."
