Former first-team All-Pac-10 forward Maxwell Griffin signed a one-year deal with the Austin Aztex, with the club option for the next two years. Griffin, brother of Aztex defender Leonard Griffin, finished his Bruins career as the two-time reigning team Offensive MVP and leading goal scorer.

In his senior year, Griffin racked up a litany of accolades, including his selection to the All-Pac-10 team. He was named an NSCAA All-Far West selection, Soccer America’s National Player of the Week on September 4 after scoring both goals in a conference-clinching clash against Stanford, nominated for the prestigious Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award and led the team with four game-winning goals, moving him up to sixth all-time in the UCLA record books in that category.

As an underclassman, the Palmdale, Calif., native was named All-Pac-10 Honorable Mention as a junior, named consensus National Player of the Week as a sophomore and scored a goal in each of his first two contests as a freshman.
