Freshman Cornerback Quenton Meeks made clutch plays last night when it mattered.
Quenton Meeks was the last player to commit to an already stacked defensive backs class. Other defensive backs in the class is Eric Reid's younger brother Justin Reid, Frank Buncom IV, and Ben Edwards. Out of the 4 defensive backs that committed to Stanford, Meeks wasn't as highly regarded as the others. On signing day Meeks had narrowed down his top 3 schools to Stanford (obviously), Vanderbilt, and rival Cal. I remember scouting him as he was coming out of high school and here is what my scouting notebook says:
| Good size and length | Slow |
| Physical coverman | Needs to turn his head and look for ball |
| Has a good first step | |
| Great instincts |
Quenton Meeks gave the Stanford offense two more offensive series and one of which was the game winning field goal.
