The Stanford Cardinal football team will be looking to improve upon last year's record while also making the switch to the ACC.
After a 3-9 2023 season, the Stanford Cardinal will enter 2024 on a mission, eager and excited to make noise in their inaugural campaign as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. As the sun rises on a new year, with training camp opening last week, the attention will shift onto what this year's squad can do, with new faces coming in looking to make an impact and play a major role in the Cardinal rebuild.
A star running back and track star in high school, Galvan brings immense speed to the defense and after leading Northern Iowa with 77 tackles last season, is not afraid to fly around the field and get in on the action.Struggling to establish a strong pass rush last year, adding Umeh could very well provide a major boost to that category, as the four-star prospect out of Toronto, Canada has been a star at Avon Old Farms School, where he became a fixture on the edge for the Beavers.
Listed 6’5”, 240, Umeh brings a lot of height with a leaner frame, giving him the tools to evolve into a strong edge rusher for the Cardinal. With players such as juniors David Bailey and Tevarua Tafiti cemented as the incumbent starters while also providing a veteran presence, Umeh may have to wait before he can make an impact, but his talent and size suggest that he will be able to make one rather quickly.
