The best pure passer in the conference since Stanford's Davis Mills in 2020, the 6-foot-6 McKee has the pocket skills necessary to become a Day One pick. He's not as mobile as Mills, which could limit his NFL value and seemingly increases the chances of injury given Stanford's likely reliance upon the passing game. But if he stays healthy and slings it as we expect, the scouts will rave. - Denver Post

The second-team all-conference pick has the size (6-foot-1), length and ball skills to be an early-round selection similar to former teammate Paulson Adebo, a third-round pick last spring who started for the Saints. But as with many cornerbacks, Kelly's 40-yard dash time at the scouting combine will help shape his draft destination. - Denver Post

05/04/22 - Thomas Booker, Sr/2022, Stanford + More +

Former Stanford defensive lineman Thomas Booker was drafted by the Houston Texas in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft on Saturday. "I'm so excited for Thomas Booker," Stanford head coach David Shaw said. "He's starting his career with Lovie Smith, one of the best defensive minds in the NFL. I know he will be a great addition to the defense, to the locker room and to the Houston community." The 6-foot-4, 310-pound senior was a four-star recruit who held offers from many elite programs, including Clemson, Georgia, Notre Dame, Ohio State and Michigan. The Maryland native elected to come to the Farm, and posted a four-year career filled with accolades. Booker was a two-time member of the All-Pac-12 second team defensive line and was named to the All-Pac-12 first team all-purpose/special teams squad in 2020. In 2021, Booker recorded 59 tackles, five of which were for a loss. He notched 50 tackles again in 2019 and was on pace to do so in 2020 before the season was cut to six games because of COVID-19. - The Stanford Daily

Stanford's comeback victory that stunned Oregon was enough of a roller-coaster that coach David Shaw felt the need to apologize to his parents and any other fans older than 70 for the emotional toll. The Cardinal overcame a blown lead and had their banged-up quarterback stage an improbable rally before finally prevailing over the third-ranked Ducks. Tanner McKee threw a TD pass on an untimed down at the end of regulation to tie the game and another on the opening possession of overtime to lead Stanford to a 31-24 victory. McKee came back after leaving for a play on the final drive of regulation with injured ribs to tie it on a 2-yard pass to Elijah Higgins after a holding penalty by Oregon in the end zone extended the game one play. - AP College Football

Tanner McKee threw a TD pass on an untimed down at the end of regulation to tie the game and another on the opening possession of overtime to lead Stanford to a 31-24 victory over No. 3 Oregon on Saturday. McKee came back after leaving for a play on the final drive of regulation with an injury to tie it on a 2-yard pass to Elijah Higgins after a holding penalty by Oregon (4-1, 1-1 Pac-12) in the end zone extended the game one play. McKee then gave the Cardinal (3-2, 2-1) the lead with a 14-yarder to John Humphreys in overtime. Stanford then forced Anthony Brown to throw an incomplete pass on fourth-and-8 to seal its fourth win against an Oregon team ranked in the top 10 since 2009.

The Ducks were appeared poised for their first 5-0 start in eight years when they rallied from 10 points down at halftime to take a 24-17 lead early in the fourth quarter on Brown's second TD run of the game. But then McKee delivered the big plays late and the Cardinal capitalized on three Oregon penalties on the game-tying 87-yard drive in the final 1:59 of regulation. McKee left the game for one play on the drive after being hit by Kayvon Thibodeaux on a play ruled targeting. Oregon was then called for another roughing the passer penalty and the holding penalty in the end zone on what appeared to be the final play. The Cardinal got the untimed down and McKee delivered with the pass to Higgins. Coach David Shaw opted for the extra point and the game went to OT. - Stanford/AP College Football

The Stanford Cardinal finally are heading home to play in front of fans in their own stadium, and they're taking a two-game winning streak with them. Tanner McKee ran for a touchdown and threw for two more as Stanford beat Vanderbilt 41-23 Saturday night in the first meeting between the programs best known for their academics. Stanford (2-1) started the season playing the first three games on the road, the only Power Five program this season to even play its first two straight games away from home.

That's after playing the final four games of the 2020 season away from home because of the pandemic. "It's been a long time," Stanford coach David Shaw said. "Was kind of being facetious at the end of the game. We have to give the guys a map to the game day locker room. We haven't been there in so long. We're excited. We're excited to finally be able to go home. It's been a long road trip." Vanderbilt (1-2) lost its eighth straight at home. The Commodores' last home win was Nov. 23, 2019. Stanford took control scoring 13 points in the final 1:53 of the second quarter. The Cardinal then scored on the first possession of the third quarter for 20 points. "It was fast," Shaw said. "A lot of stuff happened." - Stanford/AP College Football

After Nathaniel Peat broke a tackle and turned the corner, the Coliseum collectively gasped as the speedy Stanford tailback sprinted all the way down his sideline. "I just saw green grass, and I had to put the wheels on," Peat said with a grin. When he finally stopped, his 87-yard touchdown run had given the Cardinal a whole lot more than their first seven points in an impressive 42-28 upset of No. 14 Southern California on Saturday night. "Guys saw Nate take off, and there were great blocks down the field," Stanford coach David Shaw said. "It just gave us a lift, and then we got a stop, and we said, ‘Hey, you know, we can play with these guys. And not only can we play with them, we can dominate." The Cardinal did just that in a victory that dramatically altered the early season trajectories of two longtime Pac-12 rivals.

Tanner McKee passed for two touchdowns and rushed for another score in his first collegiate start as Stanford (1-1, 1-0 Pac-12) rebounded from a rough 24-7 loss to Kansas State last week in which the Cardinal didn't even score until the final minutes. Peat racked up a career-high 115 yards, and Kyu Blu Kelly returned an interception 31 yards for a touchdown in Shaw's 63rd conference victory at Stanford, moving him past Pete Carroll for ninth-most in Pac-12 history. "It shows who we are as a team," Peat said. "We have a lot of playmakers and a lot of potential. Last week, we really didn't show who we were." McKee went 16 of 23 for 234 yards, and he hit Elijah Higgins and Brycen Tremayne for TDs as Stanford rolled to a 29-point lead in the fourth quarter of its ninth victory over USC in the California rivals' last 14 meetings. - Stanford/AP College Football
