When a team identifies its leaders, they are often quarterbacks or veteran contributors. When Ed Orgeron was recently asked to name an “unexpected leader” for his team, he went with true freshman CB Derek Stingley Jr.

“Derek Stingley for us has been phenomenal, had a phenomenal year,” Orgeron said. “He leads by example. This summer on Saturday and Sunday, his dad is a coach, go 1:00, go work out, look on the football field, him and his dad are working out with the DBs. Tremendous work ethic, tremendous young man.”
