About Steven

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Aggressive, energetic, engaged

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I’m hard working, committed to the game, and intelligent.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

Playing varsity my freshman year. I was only 13 playing against older more mature opponents. You couldn’t tell by my size how old I was but I definitely made myself known.

What type of college are you looking for?

A college that I can get a great education out of that will help me pursue a career doing something I love, sports!

Relentless. He lived in the backfield with a combination of first‑step quickness and strong hands, winning both outside and on inside counters. He collapsed edges, forced the quarterback off his spot, and spilled runs back to help. The numbers won’t show how many plays he ruined by simply squeezing gaps and making the ball cut where the help was. On a night where Eastmark still found answers, Valdez’s disruption was the reason nothing came easy.
