MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — It hasn't been long since he was last in Floyd Stadium, but when Brent Stockstill next walks through the tunnel onto the turf, he'll look a little different.
He won't don the Middle Tennessee jersey and pads, this time. Instead, he'll have on a pair of headphones, khakis and a polo.
Stockstill was named Middle Tennessee's new wide receivers coach on Jan. 9. To say he's ready to come home to Murfreesboro would be an understatement.
"I'm extremely thankful," he said. "During my playing days here, I built a lot of good relationships, and I obviously have a great relationship with the head coach, since he's my dad.
