2746721, My nephew got some real playing time for Stanford tonight…

His name is Jaden Slocum - he’s a true freshman corner, had offers from Michigan, Notre Dame, Alabama, Clemson, FSU, Florida, Georgia, USC, MSU, and a ton of other schools. He enrolled early at Stanford earlier this year. Because of the pandemic he missed out on taking most of his recruiting visits (and for some reason the scouting sites never updated his 3 star ranking even though he had all those P5 scholarship offers.)

Jaden got playing time last week in the USC game on special teams, but today he played the entire second half at corner.

It’s surreal seeing him out there. He was two years old watching football with my dad (his grandfather) and was able to follow the action, and started running “plays” with us in the living room. He’s been playing organized football since he was 3 years old so he’s living out his dream right now. Got straight A’s in his first semester at Stanford too.

So yeah…I have a Pac12 team to root for right along with Michigan.
