Cornerback Linden Stephens improved upon his first season as a Bearcat and should only improve heading into next season.
A junior, after transferring from Fork Union Military Academy in 2014, cornerback Linden Stephens has shown some flashes in his two years in Cincinnati. He played in all games both years, and in his first season, recorded his first career interception in a game at USF.
This year, Stephens continued to show progress, finishing with 33 tackles, and two interceptions. One of the interceptions came in one of Cincinnati's finest performances, a 52-7 drubbing of the UCF Knights.
