Now that it’s official, Auburn QB Jarrett Stidham got to talk about what it’s like to be the Tigers starter on Monday.
Expectations are high for the Tigers in 2017, and the Baylor transfer’s big arm, which he showed off in an impressive A-Day performance, is a big reason why.
Stidham talked about the AU wideouts, how Sean White handled the competition and other topics in this evening’s Tigers media opportunity.
Jarrett Stidham: Fine tuned, chooses words carefully but personable at same time. Fans are gonna love way he handles spotlight as Auburn QB.
