MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Offensive coordinator Mitch Stewart wished he had a cooler reason why everyone calls Jaiden Credle "Flip," as he did when he first introduced Credle to the Middle Tennessee fanbase on National Signing Day earlier this year.
The Columbus, Ga. running back explained months later that it was a childhood nickname from his mother, a product of how a young Credle would get out the endless energy he had at that age.
"My mom was just paying attention to me and sometimes I used to just get up, run, do a flip out of the bed," Credle said.
