As a downhill run stopper, he uses his good get off and block shedding to get off the block and make the tackle. Very good tackling. Stevens is a very hard hitter. He brings that same high energy and effort to the special team’s unit. He’s an exciting player who is just getting started.

Read EvaluationRobert Davis | Prep Redzone Scout
Stevens is an under the radar defensive prospect with the potential to emerge as a breakout name during the offseason. Last season, he had 42 total tackles, 3 tackles for loss and 2 forced fumbles, showing his ability to impact the game in multiple ways. Stevens plays with physicality and urgency, attacking downhill quickly and shedding blocks to fill running lanes effectively. One of his most impressive traits is the authority he brings when meeting ball carriers, consistently delivering strong contact and finishing plays. His instincts against the run and ability to create turnovers give him intriguing upside moving forward. Team camps and offseason exposure opportunities could be valuable in helping Stevens gain recognition, especially if he continues refining his technique and adding to his overall athletic ability. He is a prospect whose stock could rise significantly with continued development and increased exposure.
