Here is the scouting report on Stevenson, courtesy of 247Sports analyst Brian Dohn:

"Has size to play cornerback or receiver. May be better suited for defensive side because it is more natural. Multi-sport athlete who flashes explosion with one-handed dunks. Ran respectable 11.09 in 100 meters as sophomore. Impacts football game in all three phases. Possesses good ball skills. Shows ability to flip hip and run with receiver. Drives on ball well. Is comfortable in press coverage and can re-route receivers with jams. Stays low in back pedal and comfortably transitions his weight to open and run or move on play in front of him. Brings a physical aspect to play at cornerback. Is willing to come up and make a big hit. Is able to compete and use technique to defend bigger receivers down the field in one-on-one situations. Has willing to take on blocks and win the edge to force plays inside. Good open field tackler. As a receiver secures ball quickly and gets up field. Shows burst to pierce defense on quick throws. Gets off line of scrimmage cleanly and into route well. Locates ball well and has no fear going over middle. Has to continue to develop getting into and out of breaks with purpose. Has to continue to work on his top end speed. Must get in the weight room and add strength in upper body to handle college-aged receivers. Continued development with footwork, particularly in flipping his hips, is needed. Can be multi-year starter and impact player at Top 20 program. Has late round NFL draft potential."
