Miami sophomore CB Tyrique Stevenson has made a positive impression on his new teammates thus far.
Stevenson (6'0/202), who transferred to Miami from Georgia earlier this offseason, is on campus for the start of spring practice. And new teammate Bubba Bolden was quick to praise the sophomore cornerback for the work that he has done thus far. “He’s a great player, very football minded, very football smart,” Bolden said of Stevenson. “He went to Georgia and that’s obviously a big-time school. … Him coming here gives us extra depth, extra knowledge, extra veteran experience. He’s played against Alabama and those types of teams. He knows the feeling.” Stevenson is still going through the process of learning the Hurricanes’ defensive scheme, and HC Manny Diaz will be calling the plays, as there was a lot of turnover among the coaches on that side of the football. Stevenson will figure prominently in the Hurricanes’ plans this fall, and he will familiar with Miami’s first opponent (Alabama).
