AUBURN, Ala. -- Darius James, Jarrett Stidham and Kameron Martin never intended to leave the state of Texas. They all grew up there, played high school football there, and all three signed to play college football at one of the major schools in the Lone Star State.
This spring, however, the trio has found a new home at Auburn University.
For James, it was a major adjustment going from Austin, Texas, to what some like to call "The Loveliest Village on the Plains."
"Coming from where the motto of the city is 'Keep Austin Weird' to everybody’s normal, it’s real different," James said.
