QB Son of MUTS coach joins MUTS

[Harry]

BlueRaiderZone has learned that former Siegel quarterback Brent Stockstill has officially enrolled at Middle Tennessee. Stockstill, son of Blue Raider head coach Rick Stockstill, originally signed with Cincinnati out of high school.

Speculation about Stockstills future with the Bearcats began with the announcement that Notre Dame transfer Gunner Kiel was heading to Cincinnati last month. He originally went through the recruiting process after deciding not to play for his father. With Kiels three years of eligibility remaining and Middle Tennessee looking to have a wide open competition for the quarterback job in 2014, it seems Stockstill had a change of heart.

The addition is a big one for Middle Tennessee. Stockstill is a true dual-threat player who threw for 2,253 yards and 28 touchdowns and rushed for another 638 yards and 10 touchdowns. Stockstill is also an accomplished baseball player, though theres currently no word on whether he intends to play both sports in college.

I think we will.

Your DRC beat writer has some good comments about it in this article by the DNJ beat writer.

MUTS won't have a high school coaching staff to contend with.

There is absolutely no doubt it will work out better than it did here, unless the elder Stockstill forgets how to coach college football and hires the coaches from Murfreesboro HS to coordinate the defense and offense...Its usually not hard to win more than 6 games when you get the chance to coach 43 games.

I have a lot of respect for Middle. I see them as a force to be reckoned with in C-USA's eastern division.

There's some good high school football played in Murfreesboro. Oakland and Blackman high school are pretty consistent producers of SEC talent.
