“As a runner, Stockton knows how to dissect defenses and can take off the second he sees an opening. He’s an excellent runner and moves well for someone at 220-pounds. He’s quicker than most linebackers at the next level and he’s tough to bring down by one defensive back by himself,” Dawg Post recruiting expert Matt DeBary said in describing Stockton’s ability to run the ball.
