After being chosen to USA Today's first-team high school All-American list,[1] Stovall chose to attend the University of Notre Dame.

He did not start as a freshman, but played in all 13 games that season, finishing the year with 18 catches including three touchdown receptions.

When Charlie Weis became Notre Dame's coach prior to the 2005 season, he sought to get Stovall back to his freshman year form.

Starting every game, Stovall caught 11 touchdowns, some of them requiring acrobatics, and nearly broke Tom Gatewood's school record for single-season receiving yards.

[6] A deeply religious man, he made the sign of the cross as he hauled in his first career touchdown pass against the Detroit Lions in week 7 of the 2007 NFL season.

In 2016, Stovall joined the IMG Academy football team as their wide receivers coach.
