Texas QB CJ Stroud had a wild story about his game against Jaime Jaquez Jr.
The Houston Texans‘ stellar rookie CJ Stroud is quite the established player on the hardwood and he is scheduled to take part in Friday’s Ruffles NBA All-Star Celebrity Game. Stroud shared a story recently about a high school game during which he scored 40 points against a rising NBA rookie from the Miami Heat.
Recently Stroud spoke out on fellow top five pick Bryce Young and what caused his season to not turn out the way fans had hoped. Stroud won the 2023 Rookie of the Year after a historic 2023 campaign.
On Wednesday, Stroud was seen discussing his high school performance with Cowboys Defensive Player of the Year candidate Micah Parsons.
