It waited until the end of business hours on the Friday a week before kickoff, but LSU finally announced who will wear the #7 and #18 jerseys for the season.
Ja’Marr Chase was originally awarded the 7 jersey, but after he opted out of the season the number was left vacant.
Stevens is a senior and three-year starter at safety. In 2019 he totaled 92 tackles with nine tackles for a loss, five sacks, four interceptions, and 15 pass breakups, landing him on the All-SEC second team. Recently Stevens has become more outspoken off the field, leading the team in their social justice initiatives, registering the entire team to vote, and taking time to go speak to local schools.
