*** 2017 Academic Honors Candidate ***

2017: Listed as a starter at wide receiver on the preseason depth chart. In 2016, all three of EWU’s starters (Cooper Kupp, Kendrick Bourne, Shaq Hill) were All-Americans and moved on to opportunities in the NFL after combining for an inconceivable 817 catches for 12,412 yards and 132 touchdowns in 160 games played (109 starts).

2016: Was named to the Big Sky Conference All-Academic team. Stiles had 26 receptions for 380 yards and a pair of scores as a sophomore while playing 13 of EWU’s 14 games. He made his first career start versus Northern Iowa (9/17/16) as an injury replacement for Kupp, and had seven catches for 54 yards and a touchdown. One week earlier when Kupp was sidelined in the second half versus North Dakota State (9/10/16), Stiles had eight catches and a TD to finish with what is now the 36th-best performance in school history with 169 receiving yards. As a result, he was the team’s offensive player of the week. He missed the UC Davis (10/1/16) game with a shoulder injury. He was third on the team with 11 catches for 94 yards in three spring scrimmages. He had a game-high eight grabs for 57 yards in EWU’s Red-White Game.

2015: Was named to the Big Sky Conference All-Academic team. He caught seven passes for 60 yards while playing in seven games in his debut season. He caught his first career pass for 13 yards versus Northern Iowa (9/12/15), and two games later had three catches for 30 yards against Sacramento State (9/26/15).

2014: Redshirted. He was the team’s offensive scout team player of the week once and earned the same honor once on special teams.

HS: Graduated from Mt. Spokane HS in 2014. As a senior quarterback, he earned first team All-Greater Spokane League honors (Shadle Park’s Brett Rypien, now at Boise State, was the offensive MVP). In six games in the GSL, he rushed for 885 yards (147.5 per game) on 114 carries (7.8 per rush). He also completed 46-of-82 passes (56.1 percent) for 623 yards. In a victory over University, he rushed for 153 yards with touchdown runs of 63 and 55 yards, and he completed 11-of-16 passes for 188 yards and two TDs. He was also credited with 16 total tackles (13 solo) and four passes broken up on defense. Mt. Spokane finished his senior season 8-4 and ended the year with a 27-7 loss to Shadle Park in the first round of the State 3A Playoffs. The week prior in a play-in game against Southridge, Stiles passed for 155 yards and ran for another 130 as Mt. Spokane won 34-30. Against Shadle Park in the regular season, Stiles rushed for 173 yards and two touchdowns and added 105 yards passing and two more TDs in a 63-42 loss. He rushed for 243 yards and two touchdowns, and passed for 82 yards and another score in a 45-35 win over Gonzaga Prep. Most of the playing time in his career came as a senior after suffering collarbone injuries the previous two seasons, limiting him to 2 1/2 games of experience going into the 2013 season. He earned the starting quarterback job as a sophomore, but he suffered a broken collarbone in the second game of the season. A year later, oddly, he injured the same collarbone at the same point of the team’s second game of the season. After the second injury, he had surgery to insert a five-inch long titanium plate. Seven screws are inserted in the titanium plate, and after he’s done playing sports, Stiles will have the plate removed. He also played basketball at Mt. Spokane, and in his senior season he averaged 16.5 points, 1.2 steals, 2.8 assists and 2.1 rebounds per game. He earned first team All-Greater Spokane League honors for the second-straight season. As a junior he finished as the third-leading scorer in the league and finished the year averaging 17.5 points, 1.8 steals, 1.9 assists and 2.4 rebounds per game. As a sophomore he averaged 14.1 points per game. He had a best time of 11.45 in the 100 meters as a junior in 2013 and made the 3A Regionals in the 100 and as part of the 4x100 meter relay team. He was also an outstanding student with a 3.7 grade point average in high school. Eastern teammate Roy Hyatt (’15) and former Eagle Ashton Boothroyd (’10) also attended Mt. Spokane.

Personal: Finance major with a 3.73 grade point average thus far at EWU. Born 10/29/95 in Spokane, Wash. Will turn 22 during Eastern’s bye week. Full name is Stuart J. Stiles. His parents are Stu and Natalie Stiles.
