C.J. Stroud was a fast riser in the recruiting rankings. He had only one offer on New Year’s Day 2019. He attended the 2019 Elite 11 Finals and won the event’s MVP award. As a senior at Rancho Cucamonga (Calif.) High, he tossed 3,878 yards and 47 touchdowns. He played in the All-American Bowl. Stroud left Rancho Cucamonga as a four-star recruit and the No. 3 quarterback in the country. Before games, his go-to hype-up song is “Wins and Losses” by Meek Mill. He has a goal of one day creating a charity for single mothers. He is the son of Kimberly Stroud. He has three siblings: Isaiah, Asmar and Ciara.
