"Is this what LeBron James looked like on the football field? James, who played at St. Vincent-St. Mary High in Akron, Ohio, during his sophomore and junior yearsin 2000 and 2001, used his 6-foot-7 frame to earn all-state honors, the future four-time NBA most valuable player even garnering attention from Notre Dame and Urban Meyer, then a wide receivers coach for the Fighting Irish, according to ESPN."
"Tyran Stokes appeared as a man among men as he stretched and worked his way through pregame drills, cameras lined up along the sideline aimed at the senior as if he was back on the AAU basketball circuit - and for good reason."
"He improves our practice atmosphere, he improves our game atmosphere, he improves our mindset and our competitive spirit in the room," Notre Dame coach Evan Yabu said, noting Stokes has been a "pleasure" to have on the team."
Tyran Stokes, a 6-foot-8, 250-pound senior and the No. 1 high school basketball recruit nationally, joined Sherman Oaks Notre Dame's football team as a wide receiver and defensive end in September. He towered over opponents, drew significant sideline camera attention, and used his long wingspan to become a go-to target. Notre Dame routed Culver City 57-14 as senior quarterback Wyatt Brown completed 21 of 33 passes for 301 yards and five touchdowns while rushing for 79 yards and one score. Coach Evan Yabu said Stokes boosts practice and game atmosphere, mindset and competitive spirit, calling him a pleasure to have on the team.
