I remember Stanford once had a player, can't remember his name, maybe 10-12 years ago, who was described as having a photographic memory and could predict based on the opposing team's formations what play they were likely to call...and maybe could do the same on either side of the ball. I was hoping Stanford would make that player an assistant coach or find a way to retain him after graduation.  He was a reserve player and had plans to go into politics or finance, wanna say it was Conor McFadden but could be wrong.

Conor McFadden, a beautiful mind

Conor turned down Princeton to come to Stanford, and he majored in Public Policy.  After graduating, Conor went to work for his father's Minnesota US Senate campaign.  His dad lost to Al Franken in 2014. Just from Google, Conor appears to have become an oil company executive?  Perhaps someone here knows more.
