Stidham is a 6-foot-3, 190-pound prospect who moved to Texas from Kentucky as a preteen. He currently has offers from Baylor, Kentucky, Texas, Texas A&M and Texas Tech. Stidham has made a major charge in the class of 2015 rankings discussion after being named the top quarterback at the Rivals250 Underclassmen Challenge presented by Under Armour and the No. 6 overall player at the invitation-only event.
The difference between Stidham and many other players is that there is no game film of him playing the position. He has spent his time in high school lining up at wide receiver while Texas State signee Tyler Jones has started at quarterback.
"He has a very good build, and with his height and arm strength it is impressive," Farrell said. "It isn't surprising that coaches are offering him off of one camp setting, even without film to see how he reacts in a game. He has attributes that you can't coach."
In his latest stop -- the Texas State 7-on-7 Championships -- Stidham and his Stephenville team started the process of bonding and getting into a rhythm. He was named a top performer on the day, and it boosted his confidence again.
