The high school class of 2015 had some outstanding quarterbacks — Kyler Murray, Kelly Bryant, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, Jarrett Stidham just to name a few.
And according to ESPN’s 300 rankings, Stidham was the No. 2 dual-threat quarterback in the entire country, trailing only Murray. The Stephenville High School (Texas) star was ranked ahead of players who have proven themselves at the NFL level in Darnold and Jackson.
Stidham truly was one of the best quarterbacks in the entire country.
“I knew right away he would be a great football player for us,” his high school coach and now University of Tulsa defensive coordinator Joe Gillespie said over the phone last week.
