Last week, Stevens announced that his final five schools consist of LSU, Miami (FL), Georgia, Tennessee, and Texas. The 5'11" 160-pound wideout has been committed to the Hurricanes for over a year, as he initially committed on January 13, 2025. However, it's clear that he is still exploring all possible options regarding his college football future.
Hailing from Hollywood, Florida, Stevens plays at Chaminade-Madonna High School, which is the same school Ohio State star wide receiver Jeremiah Smith attended. Per 247Sports, he is ranked as the No. 31 wide receiver and No. 235 overall player in the country for the 2027 recruiting class. He is also considered the No. 25 overall prospect in the Sunshine State.
Miami still hold Stevens' commitment, but LSU landing an official visit has Kiffin putting the pressure on Mario Cristobal. Tiger fans are hoping that Stevens' upcoming visit to LSU in April goes well and leaves a lasting impression for him to consider during his decision-making process.
