Stubblefield sets foundation for Tiger offense
Collin Stubblefield is fine just being a member the team. In fact, that’s how the sophomore from New Albany likes it, however, if Stubblefield’s plans of being a high school football coach do not pan out, the six-feet tall, 290-pound offensive lineman might want to get fitted for a business suit. In an unusual turn for a quiet offensive lineman, Stubblefield opened up for over 12 minutes for his GameDay feature speaking eloquently about everything from family, to hunting, to football and his love of “anything that goes boom or goes fast.” “I have to know all the plays and what everyone is supposed to do,” Stubblefield said. “If anyone has a question, they come to me and I am expected to know the answer. I enjoy being the go-to guy. “Everything centers around the center,” Stubblefield quipped. “They cannot start a play without me.” However, just like business, Stubblefield has his eyes on the ultimate prize. “I like having a really good goal,” Stubblefield said. “I am more suited for offense. I like being part of the unit that scores touchdowns.” Stubblefield may enjoy being part of the team that puts points on the board the majority of the time but in high school, Stubblefield was also part of a tenacious New Albany defense that led the Bulldogs to an undefeated regular season his final year. “I think any versatility will help,” Stubblefield said. “I haven’t been able to play any (defense) here at Northeast. “I was pretty much the same size as I am now even in about the sixth grade so I did not have an opportunity to become a skill player.” Stubblefield looks on his size as advantage – and one that has helped him follow in the footsteps of his brother – Cody – who played junior college football before signing with the University of Memphis Tigers a few years back. However, the sibling rivalry runs deep and no matter if it is on the football field, the board room or somewhere in between, Collin Stubblefield is eager to point out that he beat his brother in one of the more important football aspects of their young lives – wearing the number 55. “I’d been chasing him my entire life,” Stubblefield said, “but I got 55 when I was in PeeWee and he did not get it until his sophomore year of high school. “Plus it looks really good on me,” Stubblefield joked. While the sibling rivalry may heat up over who wears the prized double-nickel number,Stubblefield knows that family runs deep in the woods of Union County. “I’ve been trying to catch up with him,” the 6

younger brother admitted. “I hope that I get to continue my career like he did.” If Stubblefield’s background has anything to do with his football career, the New Albany native should not have a problem finding a football team that wants him on its offensive line. Growing up in Union County, Stubblefield knew the definition of a hard day’s work. “We worked all day,” Stubblefield said. “We were not sitting around a house. We were always hauling feed and working outside…I guess that is my work ethic – I’ve always had it growing up.” A country boy at heart, Stubblefield enjoys his time away from the football field in the fall. “I love to hunt. If there is a season for it, I am hunting,” Stubblefield said. “You could term it a ‘manly man’ – anything that goes boom or goes fast, I’m into it.” Stubblefield gets his chance to hear plenty of “booms” being on the offensive line in one of the toughest football leagues in America. Stubblefield’s older brother Cody saw over 1,000 plays during his playing career at the University of Memphis and Collin is about the same – starting every game his freshman year for the Tigers as Northeast advanced to the semifinals of the Mississippi Association of Community/ Junior Colleges (MACJC) state football playoffs. Stubblefield did want to dispel a myth about the position of center. The center does not just snap the ball to quarterback…that is just a small part of the function of the position. “I am in charge of a lot of calls like if linebackers are in pass protection or calling out our line’s fan calls (which way the line will move),” Stubblefield listed. “I have to call out how many men are in the box, which side has good number…lots of general information that others do not have to look for.” Being able to think on his feet has made Stub-

Stubblefield was a Mississippi High School Activities Association (MHSAA) All-State selection in high school and was a member of the All-Division 1-4A team on four straight teams for the Bulldogs. While the transition from high school to college is almost complete for Stubblefield, the Union County resident knows there is still work to be done. “We have to keep grinding,” Stubblefield said. “We have too much talent. The sky is the limit.” Just like in business, Stubblefield wants to leave a lasting legacy on those that come behind him. “I hope to be liked by all – not just a football standpoint,” Stubblefield said. “I hope to leave a hard-nosed player legacy on the field and a good guy legacy off the field.” But in the end, the country boy knows that for all the hard work – there can be a little play involved to break the monotony – and while there isn’t a forward handoff to the center in the Northeast playbook…yet, Stubblefield enjoys the end result of reaching a goal. “I like to celebrate,” Stubblefield said. “I like end zone dances.”
