When he left West Lafayette, he had one. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wasn\u2019t surprised,\u201d he said. \u201c(Running backs) Coach <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/coach\/lamar-conard-173792\/\">(Lamar) Conard <\/a><\/strong>told me to come on the visit so he could offer me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI went out on the field and tried to picture myself out there with their atmosphere, just trying to picture myself in it. I try to do that every time where I visit and have been offered. It was pretty cool.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Purdue, the 6-0, 180-pound Stevens has offers from the likes of Akron, Bowling Green, Miami (Ohio) and Toledo, among others.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to playing running back for North High in Westerville, Ohio, Stevens also plays receiver.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, I\u2019m all over the field,\u201d said Stevens, who also plays lacrosse. \u201cI\u2019m hard to tackle in the open field. I\u2019m very fast. On defense, I play safety.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stevens has visited Cincinnati, Ohio State and West Virginia, in addition to Purdue, which he visited for the first time last weekend. He goes to Michigan October 14. After that, he treks to Duke Thanksgiving weekend.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c(Purdue was) really nice and had a spacious campus,\u201d said Stevens. \u201cI really liked it.
