he prob had more talent on his Vandy defenses than he has at penn st. I bet his defenses would be scary good with this roster

The 6-foot-2, 200-pound Stevens said he decided to reopen his recruitment Nov. 24 because of the uncertainty that surrounded LSU coach Les Miles at the time. But even with Miles still at LSU, he said he’s now taking his time making a final decision.

“I didn’t know what (Miles) was going to do,” Stevens said. “I know everybody says, ‘Hey, you go there for the school.’ I looked at the school. I loved it. But Les Miles is such a good coach. He has good assistants in (defensive backs coach) Corey Raymond and people like that, and I didn’t know if they were going to be there."

"But then, on the opposite side — and this was the reason that was keeping me from doing it again — is that I didn’t get my time to look at other schools. I didn’t get the time to look at UT — see, that’s home. I didn’t get my time to look at Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Clemson. I didn’t get my time to go out and look at all those places. So, now, me being back here and kind of evaluating things gives myself the time to make the perfect decision for me.”

A recent phone conversation with Tennessee coach Butch Jones assured Stevens that the home-state Vols plan to make him a high priority. He said Jones told him “about his fence that he has put up on Tennessee, where he doesn’t want anybody that’s good in Tennessee going out.”

“He tells me every time he’s going to recruit me hard, and he wants me here bad,” Stevens said. “I love that, saying that he values me that much. But, again, I’ve got to make my perfect decision.”

“What they did to Northwestern was a really big deal,” Stevens said. “One, I like to see my hometown guys do great — Jalen Hurd, Josh Malone, Jauan (Jennings) and Jack Jones, how they’re doing over there. I like to see that they’re being successful. Them coming back with the hometown is great.”

Also said that he still really likes LSU, and they will be considered in his decision. He thinks he will wait until closer to NSD 2017 to make his final decision.

Yeah we need to get a Tennessee kid that'll recruit other players!! Like Vic Wharton did(even though he transferred lol). I see a kid like Tee Higgins, and you'd think he'd be all about being a vol growing up here. All I have seen though from him is Clemson talk with a little Tennessee mixed in. If I grew up in knoxville playing football all my life being a Tennessee vol would be a dream come true. I just don't see how local kids don't dream about being vols. Tee is committed to us I know, but he really really likes Clemson.

He's not better than Tee Higgins. Watch that kids tape. He's the next AJ Green.

I personally wasn't too impressed with Stevens film. Plus I have no idea what position he'll play in college. With Higgins you know he'll be a stud WR.

Seriously

He's a Safety without question. You need to look at that film closer. He's a freak of nature.

Please show me some new film. I've only seen his sophomore tape. Which was underwhelming outside of one spectacular interception highlight.

I've seen him several times live. He's a man amongst boys.

HS is very easy to see players that stand out. He's on another level. Everyone on this site knows how much I admired Jennings in HS. This kid is better at the Safety position.

The 1st time I saw Stevens was the 100 degree Blackman and Oakland game, and as a Sophmore it was VERY easy to see that he was SEC talented. He was right there with Jennings and Jones as most talented player on the field.

Thought I was going to die that day. I saw him twice this year when Jrs team (Riverdale) had to play them in the second round of the playoffs. This kid is everywhere. He has a nose for the ball and arrives angry.

That's what I like about him as a safety also.He fills run lanes with bad intentions.Could see him growing into JRM type lb.in a couple of years also.
