A speedy, electric wideout from Middle Georgia, Stephens was a pass-catching machine this season as a sophomore and was one of the more productive receivers across the state in the 2028 class. He shows plenty of burst and explosion to go along with dependable hands and easy big-play ability. The Mary Persons playmaker caught 77 passes this fall for 1,029 yards and eight touchdowns in just nine games. He was a weapon anytime he had the ball and was consistently one of the fastest and most explosive players on the field. Look for Stephens to be even better next fall as a junior.

A shifty, sure-handed receiver from Middle Georgia, Stephens is ranked as a top-20 receiver in the state for the 2028 class and is showing why during the 2025 season. An impressive route-runner for his age, the 5-foot-10 165-pounder can get open and knows how to find the end zone. He’s caught 71 passes so far this season for 842 yards and eight touchdowns. He’s gone over the 100-yard mark four times and has gone over the 150-yard mark three times. He’s scored multiple touchdowns in three games and has his best football way ahead of him. He’s one of the leading receivers in the area and should see a bump in the next 2028 Prep Redzone rankings.

A Middle Georgia standout off to a great start to his sophomore season, Stephens is a gifted pass-catcher who does a greta job of picking up yards after the catch. He’s young, but he’s a natural playmaker who can make plays in different ways. He shows dependable hands and the ability to quickly turn up the field. He’s one of the top young receivers in the area and dominated week two of the season against Jackson, hauling in 10 passes for 160 yards and one touchdown. He’s a big-play threat who will only get better and better over time. Look for Stephens to be one of the region’s leading receivers this fall.

steals it from the air. Long, rangy, and smooth, he’s the type of wideout who turns 50/50 balls into 90/10 in his favor. Mary Persons has themselves a legitimate deep threat who can also beat you with sharp routes underneath. Mason’s footwork is clinic-worthy, and his ability to track the ball over his shoulder is pure art. Defensive backs can stick to him all they want — he’s still going to make the grab. Big plays follow him like shadows.

A kid you can take one look at and know he can play some ball. Not an ounce of fat on him and well-defined muscle already. Decent length as a wide receiver and a defensive back. Hands are big and caught a lot of passes during practice. From my memory didn’t do anything to stand out in the game(s), but there is a future here.
