Stephens is a big bodied runner that gets downhill quickly, runs behind his pads and can break arm/ankle tackles with ease while looking for contact in the hole and always falling forward. He has good balance in-between the tackles, waits for his blocks to develop before hitting the hole and is a smooth mover for his size that was very productive is only his sophomore season for Murrieta Valley. Heading into his Junior season he should be one of the more productive ball carriers across the region and have plenty of colleges come his way as he should be able to fill that bigger back roll for a college team down the line.

Stephens separated himself as one of the best athletes out of the running back group at Sunday’s showcase. The sophomore RB out of Murrieta Valley recorded an impressive 4.56 in the 40-yard dash and showed exceptional lateral agility and fluidity out in space. He’s quick in and out of his cuts with his natural low center-of-gravity, can mix up his tempo/pacing, and moves with great balance and footwork. Stephens was a recent top performer at the You Are Athlete Showcase in December and has his stock trending up early into the offseason.

Here is some of my (Sophomore) Varsity film. Had the pleasure of learning from Two senior backs. Looking forward to my upcoming Junior season.@MVNighthawkFB @CoachDJohnson23 @RAlexander80 @GregBiggins @PGregorian @BlairAngulo @adamgorney @247recruiting @PrepRedzone pic.twitter.com/jdIc7MWk20
