One of my favorite groups because of how foundational the class was during our great FBS transition.

This class is the all-time example for the "stars don't matter" argument. Almost all the highest-rated guys flopped, while many of the lowest-rated became multiyear starters and stars.

To this day, the 247 "class calculator," which assigns a point value to each player, will tell you that Jalin Moore was literally worthless. And Latrell Gibbs/Eric Boggs barely any better.

Wasn’t Nikia Cathey killed in some sort of gun violence?
Dang, if that's true, I don't remember hearing about it and can't find any record of it online.

To answer the OP's question, he did make it to campus and was on App's roster for a couple years or so, but never saw much playing time and I believe eventually transferred out (or at least tried to).
Do we know where? I couldn't find any record of it online.

Would love to continue to update this as we find more info.

Was Stringer the one that plowed through the Tennessee QB which should have been a game winning tackle but the fumble went through one of our guy's legs into a Tennessee player's hands for a TD?
