A fifth-year senior, Stevens is yet to start a college game having sat behind Trace McSorley the last three seasons in Happy Valley. Stevens was projected as Penn State’s likely starter in 2019, but he abruptly entered the transfer portal two weeks ago just days after the Nittany Lions’ spring slate came to an end. Stevens had surgery to correct an unspecified injury before Penn State’s bowl game last season. Recovery from that procedure limited Stevens during the spring and opened the door for a competition with Sean Clifford. A former three-star prospect, Stevens is known as a bruising runner at 6-foot-5, 230 pounds. Stevens has averaged 6.7 yards per attempt throughout his career with 506 total yards and eight touchdowns. Penn State created a sub-package and a role known as “Lion” to get Stevens on the field last year. Stevens has had much fewer opportunities as a passer with just 41 career attempts. He finished 8-for-11 last year with 110 yards and one touchdown against an interception.
