Jarrett Stidham didn’t journey to Machu Picchu this summer or scale Mount Kilimanjaro, so he hasn’t done everything.
It just seems that way.
Auburn’s redshirt junior quarterback has packed a lot into the last several weeks, traveling to California for the Elite 11 camp and to Louisiana for the Manning Passing Academy. Stidham is a new college graduate, and he recently got engaged to longtime girlfriend and Baylor University soccer player Kennedy Brown.
“It’s been crazy, but it’s been a summer to remember,” Stidham said last week at the Southeastern Conference’s annual Media Days event. “The Manning Camp was one of the top football experiences I’ve ever had. It’s not every day you get to sit down and talk to Peyton and Eli. Those guys are Hall of Famers and some of the best to ever do it.
