Harlon Barnett (SAF Coach) on Stevens: “Jon Jon Stevens, aka Mr. Do It All! It is easy to see that Jon Jon was one of the most impactful players to ever come from his high school. He did not leave the field and filled every role that was asked of him to the highest level. He can run, cover and tackle at a level that fits in perfectly with what is required to play high level ball in the Big Ten. We cannot wait for him to join the safety room and make his mark on the ‘Cats!”
