Lizi Arbogast / The Outlook Benjamin Russell's Za Stowes (2) was a key defender for the Wildcats this season, despite playing on both sides of the ball. He hopes to be a defensive back when he walks on at Jacksonville State in the fall.

Even Za Stowes admits he didn’t have the senior season he hoped for with Benjamin Russell’s football team.

The Wildcats had to utilize Stowes on both sides of the ball, which he certainly never complained about. But that also forced him to be less active at his natural position of defensive back. It can’t be said for sure if that affected his recruiting process but Stowes felt like he didn’t get the attention he deserved.
