DGD Trinton Sturdivant Looks to Make Mark at New Position
If you liked the idea of using Jonathan Jenkins as a fullback in short yardage situations, how about the idea of lining Trinton Sturdivant up at tight end?
The oft-injured offensive lineman is looking to make a move, and it's hard not to root for a guy who has had as much hard luck as Sturdivant has, who's still putting forth the effort to contribute to the team.
If you think Orson Charles is a load for a linebacker to handle in coverage, though, can you imagine a guy trying to shadow Sturdivant on a shallow crossing route?

Sturdivant is a DGD indeed.
Why is it that guys with his attitude, outlook, and motivation always seem to be the ones who get injured? Meanwhile you have players (who will remain nameless, of course) that stay healthy and transfer because they feel they should be featured superstars.

I smile thinking about Sturdy lined up on Theus's outside shoulder.
That is one hell of a chip off the line. Trinton Sturdivant is pure class, and I’d cheer like crazy to bring him out onto the Samford grass again.

What I liked reading best in that article was his intention to take the LSAT.
It’s not often we hear of football players who are actually students too. Good for Trinton.
Confirmed by my 2007 Media Guide...
TS was in National Honor Society, had a 4.1 high school GPA, and was his Senior Class president. Kid’s legit.

Wish we had more kids like him
Does all the right things despite the on-field setbacks.

He also was featured in Terry College of Business' Student Spotlight
which implies that he has continued with the same level of academic success at the collegiate level.
/also has quite a sense of fashion
Thanks UGAVike!
We often forget their primary goal in college…studies. It’s good to hear of a college-athlete succeeding both on and off the field.

Article says he has lost over 50 pounds
so that probably puts him in the 250 range. I’m no doctor, but it seems like that much weight loss would alleviate the strain on his knees significantly.
It’s impossible not to cheer for this guy. Rock on, Trinton.

Young man has it. On his way to a remarkable career somewhere. Just more positive vibes about our Dawgs!

Everyone else has captured my thoughts on this perfectly
Great kid, a scholar and a gentleman. Thanks for being the Dawg you are, Trinton!

How could anyone not root for this kid?
Damn good Dawg, indeed.

Anyone who can be wildly successful at pulling this look off...
… can be a success at anything in life or on the field.
I hope he can make it back.
