Who Is David Stuckman? Complete Guide to Texas State’s New Defensive Coach and Recruiting Reach
By Marcus Vance
Recruiting wins games before scheme ever enters the conversation. Texas State occupies prime real estate along the I-35 corridor between Austin and San Antonio, placing the coaching staff within driving distance of elite prep football talent. Stuckman actively recruits the Houston metro and Dallas-Fort Worth areas while leveraging personal ties across Central Florida.
His pitch to high school prospects is simple: immediate playing time inside an attacking system that prepares corners for NFL passing concepts. Stuckman’s background in Power Five analysts’ rooms gives him direct knowledge of what pro scouts demand from defensive backs, specifically, press-bail efficiency, ability to read route stems, and willing run-tackling on early downs.
Texas high school coaches respect assistants who recruit with consistency. Stuckman does not show up merely to scout finished four-star prospects; he identifies raw, long cornerbacks with track speed who can be developed in the Bobcat weight room over two seasons.
