Memphis QB Marcus Stokes on Early Adversity, Choosing Memphis Football, and CFP Expectations

College Football's fastest-rising analyst William Patteson is joined by West Florida transfer and Memphis quarterback Marcus Stokes as TPF’s “Summer Interview Series” rolls on. Patteson begins the show by asking Stokes how he got into football, and how he dealt with adversity from the public eye at such a young age. The duo then pivots through Stokes’ journey to Memphis, discussing the decision to choose West Florida after being committed to the University of Florida, what he learned during his time with the Argonauts, and how he landed at Memphis. Stokes recalls how he remembered coach Charles Huff’s departure from Marshall to Southern Miss from years prior, in which he took a number of players with him, and how that sense of loyalty was valuable to him. Memphis added a number of transfers this offseason as well, following the hiring of Huff in December, and Stokes detailed how he has tried to lead by example as the quarterback despite all the new faces. As things wind down, Patteson and Stokes discuss what life is like in Memphis, his passion for making music, and this season’s expectations: a College Football PlayoffFollow The PatteFacts: A College Football Show wherever you get your content!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thepattefactsX/Twitter: https://x.com/ThePatteFacts Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/19It1auDbpFA0QwcphDZfd?si=6e532676279644e1 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pattefacts-a-college-football-show/id1630719589
