Expert Analysis
Jeff Perkins | Prep Redzone Scout
A versatile and durable competitor, Stephens rushed for 140 yards and 4 touchdowns on 22 carries in his Rebels’ 41-32 district win over Marion County while also proving to be the most impactful defender on the night with 7 solo stops, 6 assists and 1 tackle for loss. Aligning as a single back in spread sets, a traditional tailback in short-yardage formations and even splitting wide as a Z receiver in some packages, he has rushed for 959 yards and 12 touchdowns on 175 carries, and his current 106.6 yards per game average ranks him 11th among all Class AAA ball carriers (42nd statewide). Defensively, his downhill, physical play makes him exceptionally effective versus inside run concepts, as he has contributed 45 solo stops, 42 assists, 2 sacks and 1 interception. After finishing as the 5th-leading tackler in Class AAA last season, he currently ranks 15th among all Class AAA defenders this fall with an average of 9.7 tackles per game.rnProjecting most favorably as an inside or outside linebacker at the next level, Stephens and his Rebels will travel to Rockcastle County to conclude their regular season and then travel to Louisville Central to begin the Class AAA playoffs next week.
