Now, let me tell you ’bout this young man, C.J. Stroud. You probably know him for playin’ football, but let me tell you somethin’—he got a family that’s tight, too. He the youngest of four kids, and that’s somethin’ right there. He got two big brothers, Isaiah and Asmar, and a big sister named Ciara. Now, Ciara, she three years older than C.J. Ain’t nobody talk too much ’bout Ciara, but I know she’s part of that family, and that’s important, ya know?
Let’s talk ’bout C.J. for a minute. C.J. Stroud was born back on October 3, 2001. His folks, Coleridge Bernard Stroud III and Kimberly Stroud, they raised him right. He’s the baby of the family, so he’s gotta hold his own with them big brothers and his sister. Now, don’t let C.J.’s age fool ya, that boy got some serious skills. But I ain’t here just to talk ’bout his football, I’m here to tell you ’bout his people, his family, and where he came from.
C.J. got that nickname, “C.J.,” from his mama. She been callin’ him that since he was born. Ain’t no junior business, though—his full name is Coleridge Bernard Stroud IV, but he don’t go by that. He just keep it simple with the “Stroud” on his jersey, no IV needed. Ain’t that somethin’? Real humble, just like his family. He don’t even bother with all them fancy titles; he just do his thing.
Now, y’all might not know much ’bout his sister Ciara, but I’m here to tell ya. She’s a few years older than C.J., and even though she ain’t all up in the limelight like he is, she still family. Family’s important, no matter what. I’m sure she been there for him through all them tough times. Growing up with two brothers, it ain’t easy bein’ the only girl, but Ciara, she held her own, I bet. Not much else out there about her, but I’m sure she got a lot of love for her lil’ brother C.J.
So, yeah, C.J.’s got them big brothers, too—Isaiah and Asmar. Now, Isaiah’s the oldest, so that make him the one who probably had to teach C.J. a thing or two about life. You know how it go, big brothers always lookin’ out for the little one. And Asmar, he just a little older than C.J., but still, he got that older sibling vibe goin’ on. They all got C.J.’s back, and that’s what family do. They got each other’s backs, no matter what. Ain’t no doubt in my mind C.J. learned a lot from them, not just about football, but life in general.
People talk about C.J. Stroud like he just some quarterback, but that boy got roots. He come from a real tight-knit family. Y’all know what I mean? It’s all about the love and support they give each other. Ain’t no way he’d be where he is today without his mama and daddy and them siblings who always been there for him. That’s family, and that’s what make a man. So when you see C.J. out there on the field, just remember, he ain’t just representin’ himself—he representin’ his whole family, too.
So next time you see C.J. Stroud out there throwin’ them touchdowns, remember where he come from. Remember his sister, Ciara, and his two big brothers, Isaiah and Asmar. They all play a part in the story of C.J. Stroud, even if they ain’t always in the spotlight. It’s a family affair, and that’s real talk right there.
