Career

College and Amateur

Griffin attended Littlerock High School and played college soccer at the UCLA from 2006 to 2009, where he racked up a litany of accolades, receiving a selection to the All-Pac-10 team, and an NSCAA All-Far West selection. He was also nominated for the prestigious Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award, and as a senior led the team with four game-winning goals, moving him up to sixth in the all-time UCLA scoring record books . Griffin netted 28 goals overall in his career, increasing his total in each of the four seasons at the school and is one of just 18 players to have scored a hat trick for UCLA in its 43-year history.

During his college years Griffin also played with the San Fernando Valley Quakes[1] and the Los Angeles Legends[2] in the USL Premier Development League.

Professional

Upon graduating from UCLA, Griffin signed a one-year deal with the Austin Aztex of the USSF Division 2 on March 23, 2010.[3]

He made his professional debut on April 11, 2010, in Austin's first game of the 2010 season, a 2-0 victory over Montreal Impact,[4] scored his first professional goal on May 29 in a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace Baltimore,[5] and scored a hat trick on June 19, 2010 in a 3-1 win over Miami FC.[6]

Prior to the 2011 season, new owners purchased the club and moved it to Orlando, Florida, re-naming it Orlando City. The club will play in the USL Pro league in 2011. At the end of the 2011 USL Pro season, Griffin moved on loan to San Jose Earthquakes[7].

Personal

Maxwell is the younger brother of fellow professional soccer player Leonard Griffin.

Maxwell has also dabbled in acting, and featured in JoJo’s music video for her 2006 hit song, Too Little Too Late alongside several of his UCLA Bruins teammates.
