Stuard had a four-year career with the Cougars and was a very productive player. As a senior in 2020, he made 61 total tackles, five tackles for loss, one sack, one fumble recovery and one touchdown.
Kicker Ryan Succop is arguably the best Mr. Irrelevant of all-time. Selected with the last pick of the 2009 NFL Draft, Succop is still in the NFL today and made 28-of-31 field goals for the Buccaneers last season.
