Derek Stingley Jr. talks Mannequins, Ballet, and Having an Elite Mentality
Description
Not much gets under Derek Stingley Jr.'s skin.
Traffic. A perfectly thrown back shoulder pass. Department store mannequins.
Other than that, the young man is as unflappable as he is humble.
LSU's freshman cornerback sat down for our latest episode to talk about his fast start to college football and how he's handling the spotlight of being one of the best players in the country, regardless of age.
Among the topics covered:
- How he bounced back vs. Florida
- Basketball and ballet
- What scares him about department store mannequins
- His grandfather's paralyzing football injury never deterring him from playing the sport he loves
- Fiesta Bowl practices
- Handling stardom at 18 years old
After that, we hear from LSU safeties coach Bill Busch, who talks about his players' performance against Mississippi State, as well as an older interview with cornerbacks coach Corey Raymond from after the Utah State game.
