Scout: 3*, #56 RB
ESPN:

Report:  Stockton possesses elite speed and will be one of the fastest players in the Big 12 in a couple of years.  As you can see above, Rivals lists his 40 time at 4.4 and he runs somewhere around a 10.8 100m dash.  I'm sure that Stockton has won his fair share of medals in track.  On the football field, he blows away by all defenders and truly leaves them in the dust.  Last year as a junior, Stockton rushed for over 2000 yards and 30 TDs on his way to being named district MVP.

On video, you don't seem him juking around defenses, but rather exploding through open holes.  For him being small, he showed that he can break a tackle here and there on video.  However, he obviously won't be able to do much of that in the Big 12, but that isn't his game.  It will be interesting to see if Tech keeps strictly at RB or has other roles for him to play in their offense.
