About 57 miles northwest of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma lies a small town of about 4,800 people named Kingfisher. You may know some famous people to have honed from this town:
- Sam & Bud Walton (Founders of Wal-Mart)
- Curtis Lofton (former NFL LB)

and the next guest on the Strive Sports Podcast this week...

This is a man who had recorded 20 sacks in his junior year of high school with the Kingfisher Yellow Jackets. Actually, had been recruited by an array of colleges to play defensive end, but would ultimately go on to play tight end.... a man who received First-Team, All-SEC Honors in his first and only season with the Texas A&M Aggies, and as a matter of fact, was Jimbo Fisher's first recruit to Texas A&M when Fisher was hired by the program in 2017... a man who was selected 75th overall by the Green Bay Packers in the 3rd round of the 2019 NFL Draft... that man is former USFL Champion, Jace Sternberger.

This week, Strive Sports Podcast host, Keegan Hartman (@KeeganHartman1 via Twitter) sits down with former Green Bay Packers' and Pittsburgh Steelers' TE, former USFL Champion Jace Sternberger (@_jstern via Twitter) to talk Jace's upbringing. From his beginning at Kingfisher, where Jace would flourish for the Swarm both offensively and defensively. To his collegiate football journey, where Jace would have to navigate acclimating to a few offensive systems before finding his forever home, that being Texas A&M.

In this episode, Jace talks his relationship with former Texas A&M Head Coach, Jimbo Fisher, and how Fisher recruited Sternberger, making Jace his first recruit of Fisher's coaching tenure at Texas A&M. Likewise, Sternberger talks achieving his dream of making it to the pros, and how playing with guys like Aaron Rodgers, Jimmy Graham, Davonte Adams, and Marcedes Lewis in his rookie year helped to mature him as a professional football player.
