One of the fastest players in the nation ... has turned himself into one of the nation’s elite cover corners as well ... what he lacks in size, he makes up for with technique and pure speed.
2006: Voted second-team all-Southern Conference by the league’s coaches ... enjoyed a breakout season with two interceptions, nine pass break-ups and 38 tackles on the season ... started every game at right cornerback for the third-straight year ... opened season with four solo tackles at NC State ... matched the same total three weeks later at Gardner-Webb, including first tackle for loss of the season ... returned his first interception of the season 28 yards for a touchdown in blowout win over Elon ... had a stellar day in pass coverage versus Furman, breaking up a season-best three passes and intercepting another en route to the 40-7 route ... saved his best for when it mattered most with four stops (including a TFL) in national semifinal victory over Youngstown State and a season-high five tackles (all solo) in national championship game victory over UMass.
2005: Racked up 49 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss and three pass break-ups as a sophomore ... notched ASU’s only two blocked kicks of the season (FG vs. Coastal Carolina and punt at Elon) ... recorded at least one tackle in 14-of-15 games and multiple tackles in 13 ... opened season by matching a career high with six stops at Eastern Kentucky ... broke up a pass in addition to the blocked field goal versus nationally ranked Coastal Carolina ... notched 14 tackles in four posteseason games, including four solo stops in national title game ... two of 2.5 TFL for the season came in the playoffs (one vs. Lafayette, one vs. Northern Iowa).
2004: Started every game at right cornerback as a true freshman ... tied for third on the squad with six pass break-ups ... chipped in with 29 tackles (20 solo), including 2.5 for loss ... made three tackles in collegiate debut at Wyoming ... broke up four passes over the first three games, including two versus The Citadel ... snagged a pivotal interception in the fourth quarter of ASU’s heartbreaking loss at nationally ranked Northwestern State ... tallied a career-high six tackles versus Texas State ... made four solo stops and broke up a pass in victory over No. 2 Furman ... registered eight tackles over the final three contests of the season.
High School: Ranked as high as the No. 31 prep hopeful in the state of Georgia by Rivals100.com … named first-team all-region after recording 60 tackles, four interceptions, five pass breakups and a pair of kickoff returns for touchdowns in 2003 … coached by Rodney Hackney … an all-county and all-region choice on the gridiron in 2002 … speedster has been clocked at 10.6 seconds in the 100-meter dash and also boasts the Region 6 record in the long jump with an effort of 23-feet, 4-inches.
Personal: Full name is Jerome L. Touchstone ... born Nov. 19, 1985 (turns 22 during the season) ... son of Shelia Williams ... majoring in management.
