In surprise ceremony, Suffolk's Demetrius Stitmon receives a scholarship from ODU

Isaiah Harper returned a kickoff for a touchdown. Gemonta Jackson took a screen pass 60 yards for another TD. Nick Rice booted a 52-yard field goal.

It's unlikely, though, that any ODU player had a better Saturday evening than Demetrius Stitmon, a redshirt freshman linebacker from Nansemond River High.

Before the game, Stitmon was awarded a scholarship in a surprise ceremony. His mother, Leslie, broke the news.

"It was such a special moment," coach Bobby Wilder said. "His mother was so appreciative."

An All-Tidewater pick as a high school senior, Stitmon redshirted last year and should be in the mix at linebacker for the Monarchs this season.
