Read into it what you will. Perhaps his mind is made up and he wants to make it official. Or, he truly doesn’t know just yet.
Stone is smart, and he’s a good football player. As he said, he’ll make the decision that benefits him the most.
As a junior in 2019, Stone amassed 70 tackles, four pass deflections and three forced fumbles. Again, as a safety.
