Former Baylor QB Stidham nears decision

After a five-month hiatus from college football, former Baylor quarterback Jarrett Stidham will decide on his next destination soon.

The coveted transfer and No. 1 ranked prospect in the ESPN JC 50 has narrowed his focus down to a few options for 2017 and wants to decide before Christmas. The frontrunner at this point still appears to be Auburn, but Stidham is waiting on a wild card: he wants to see where his former Baylor offensive coordinator Kendal Briles ends up next.

"Honestly," Stidham told ESPN, "it's so up in the air right now."

Stidham decided to transfer from Baylor on July 7, a little more than a month after coach Art Briles was fired in the wake of the sexual assault scandal that rocked the school.
