Stoerner attended Robert E. Lee High School in Baytown, Texas, where he was an excellent student and a letterman in football, basketball, and baseball.
Prior to his junior season of 1998, Ford was fired by Arkansas athletic director Frank Broyles, who hired Houston Nutt as the new head coach.
On a second down naked bootleg play, Stoerner stumbled on the rollout after right guard Brandon Burlsworth stepped on his foot, and he dropped the ball; Tennessee's Billy Ratliff recovered.
A few plays later, Travis Henry scored Tennessee's winning touchdown with 28 seconds left and preserved their national championship season with a 28–24 victory.
Down 24-21 late in the 4th quarter, he completed a pass over the middle to wide receiver Anthony Lucas in the end zone, Arkansas' defense held, and the Stoerner-led Razorbacks upset #3 Tennessee 28–24, mimicking the score from the previous seasons game.
[3] Stoerner would finish his college career by leading Arkansas to victory over the Texas Longhorns in the 2000 Cotton Bowl, 27–6.
After not being selected in the 2000 NFL draft, Stoerner received a tryout invitation for rookie-minicamp, where he performed well enough to be signed by the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent on May 8.
In an unusual move, Stoerner was benched in favor of Leaf late in the fourth quarter of a tie game.
Stoerner was re-signed to a futures contract on January 15, 2004, and was allocated to the Amsterdam Admirals of NFL Europe, where he was named the starting quarterback.
After being released by the Desperados, Stoerner signed with the Nashville Kats and split starting quarterback duties with Leon Murray.
He was then signed by the Philadelphia Soul to back up Juston Wood after starting quarterback Tony Graziani was injured with a separated shoulder four games into the season.
