A transfer from Georgia. Tyrique Stevenson left Georgia for the greener pastures of the ACC, where he could play more snaps and start more games. Stevenson is a trail technique man corner, which is interesting because compared to many receivers and cornerbacks in this class, he’s not fast. Stevenson might be more of a zone corner who flexes between the boundary and the slot.
