Running back Jordan Stevenson (Dallas/South Oak Cliff) said Wisconsin told him he’s expected to receive his release around 2:30 p.m. CST from his National Letter of Intent.

Wisconsin denied the four-star running back admissions yesterday, as first-reported by 247Sports.com.

According to sources, schools interested in Stevenson once he's granted his release include Alabama, Miami, Nebraska, South Carolina, Maryland, Louisville, West Virginia, Tennessee, Florida, SMU, Oregon State, Pitt, Arkansas, Michigan and Oklahoma State.

Stevenson said he hopes to talk to all interested parties “over the next 24 hours.”

He said he ideally would like to make his college choice later this weekend and enroll early next week.

As a senior, Stevenson rushed for 2,530 yards and 28 touchdowns.

As a junior, Stevenson rushed for 2,020 yards and 17 touchdowns.

The four-star recruit was ranked as the nation’s No. 17 running back and the No. 30 prospect in Texas in the 2016 247Sports.com Composite Rankings.

One of the hottest “free-agent” college football players on the market hasn’t even played a down yet at the next level.

Four-star running back and Dallas, Texas, native Jordan Stevenson, who signed with Wisconsin this past National Signing Day, was denied admission into the university Thursday. Stevenson is expected to receive his release from the Badgers this afternoon, allowing schools to contact him.

According to 247Sports, citing sources, his interest is soaring, and four SEC schools — Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee and Florida — are planning to contact him once he has his release. Miami, Nebraska, Maryland, Louisville, West Virginia, SMU, Oregon State, Pitt and Oklahoma State are all planning to contact Stevenson, too, and he hopes to talk to all of the interested schools in the next 24 hours.

The 5-8, 210-pound running back rushed for 4,550 yards and 45 touchdowns during his junior and senior seasons.

Stevenson was rated as the country’s No. 17 overall running back and the state of Texas’ No. 30 overall prospect in the 2015 recruiting class, according to 247Sports’ Composite Rankings.
 
Kind of strange that no school in Texas besides SMU is involved esp. since his highschool coach is at Texas Tech

Report: Four-star RB Jordan Stevenson denied admission by Wisconsin - Bucky's 5th Quarter

...Stevenson, who committed to Wisconsin over the winter in the height of the hysteria prompted by Gary Andersen's surprise decision to leave for Oregon State, chose the Badgers over scholarship offers from Oklahoma State, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisville, Ohio State, SMU, Texas, UCLA and Utah State.

He has Excellent vision in the whole as well as very good balance and acceleration. This could be another take for Miami, if it academically feasible to admit the young man based on UM's admission standards. I am hoping he is just missing a language credit or something along those lines, which UM can work with.

The Original post mentions SMU as the only Texas school to be currently interested in his services.

[/QUOTE] For Miami, after going through the majority of the 2015 recruiting cycle with 4 RBs committed, the only one who made it to campus was Mark Walton. And adding a player of Stevenson's caliber to the RB position group can only be considered a positive adding depth to the 2015 the Hurricanes roster, which could potentially impact the RB position for the 2016 class. If Stevenson were to choose to enroll at Miami, it stands to reason that one, or more, of the 2016 RB commits may decide to look elsewhere for his collegiate destination. [/QUOTE]

2015 RB Jordan Stevenson Wt:188 lbs 40:4.44 secs

I would not really be concerned about some futuristic class of RBs that may nor may not stick. No RBs on the team has kid's physics of speed and mass, and the kid's got moves, and cut on a dime. He ready to take flight and carries now as I don't trust neither Yearby nor Gus to stay healthy.

Bottom line is a bird in the hand is like 3 in the bush... and an unpredictable bush at that.

He's already the player Miami is hoping Zack Moss might be one day. Definite take if we can get him. That said, if grades are bad, will be at Louisville or Tennessee.

As for Zack Moss is waiting on a UF offer so he has 1 foot out the door already. So landing 2015 RB Jordan Stevenson would be an welcome and much needed addition at this point.

Florida isn't going to offer Zack Moss just like USC isn't going to offer Deion Jackson.

Recruiting: Nebraska will duel Alabama for running back Jordan Stevenson - Omaha.com: Big Red Today Blog

Recruiting: Nebraska will duel Alabama for running back Jordan Stevenson
By Sam McKewon July 25, 2015

Well, if you want to see if Nebraska can recruit with the biggest recruiting juggernaut in college football, here's Mike Riley's chance. Naturally, he'll face off against his alma mater.

Jordan Stevenson, the Dallas South Oak Cliff running back who was denied admission to Wisconsin and is thus left scrambling for a school, had no shortage of suitors. According to 247 Sports he's down to two schools: Nebraska and Alabama. According to the 247 Sports article, Stevenson wants Nebraska. His mom, Qy Ross, prefers Alabama.

A four-star prospect who was the No. 204 prospect out of high school according to 247 Sports Composite service, Stevenson — listed at 5-foot-9, 185 pounds when he blazed a 4.44-second 40-yard dash time at the Nike Sparq camp at Cowboys Stadium in 2014 — is headed to the Nebraska visit first.

Although Husker staff can't specifically name recruits Nebraska's director of football operations, Andy Vaughn, hinted at the visit on Twitter.

Nebraska has five scholarship running backs on the roster — senior Imani Cross, junior Terrell Newby, sophomore Adam Taylor, redshirt freshman Mikale Wilbon and true freshman Devine Ozigbo. None are proven as starters, as outgoing running back Ameer Abdullah carried the load in 2013 and 2014.

Alabama does appear to have a clear-cut starter in junior Derrick Henry, who broke the nation's high school career rushing record and ran for 990 yards last season as backup to T.J. Yeldon. Henry is considered one of the top running back prospects for the 2017 NFL draft. His backup is likely to be senior Kenyan Drake — who played five games last season before breaking his leg — or true freshman Bo Scarbrough. All three are power backs — Henry (6-foot-3, 243 pounds) and Scarbrough (6-2, 240) are particularly big — but the Crimson Tide lacks depth at the position.

Stevenson, whose Sparq score was the 80th-best total in the nation in 2014 — Nebraska linebacker signee Dedrick Young was the highest 2015 Husker recruit at 100 — would offer a change-of-pace back for Alabama. At Nebraska, he could contend for the starting job immediately.

Oh **** Nick Saban is personally recruiting this kid it is practically a wrap at this point especially considering his Stevenson's mom wants him at Bama now.

Nick Saban personally wooing 4-star RB denied Wisconsin admission
John Taylor on July 26, 2015

The loss of a Big Ten school with more stringent-than-normal academic standards — standards that triggered a coaching search this past December — could prove to be a win for a school from the SEC.

According to 247Sports.com, Nick Saban, along with three of his Alabama assistants, has personally spoken to Jordan Stevenson, the 2015 Wisconsin signee who was officially denied enrollment at UW this past week even as he met NCAA enrollment standards.

What the UW issue is and the reason why this happened so close to the start of summer camp hasn’t been detailed, although the school has given the player a release from his scholarship. Because in part he has yet to attend a class at UW, Stevenson can sign a financial aid agreement with another FBS program and be eligible to play in 2015.

As for the FBS programs that have expressed interest, the Crimson Tide, with a need for depth at the running back position, is one of at least a baker’s dozen-plus-one schools who are blowing up the phones of Stevenson’s high school coaches.

Among the 14 that are reportedly interested in Stevenson’s unexpected services include, among others, Florida, Miami, Oklahoma State, South Carolina, Tennessee and, most interestingly, UW’s Big Ten West rival Nebraska.

The fact that so many high-profile programs are pursuing Stevenson is not surprising as Rivals.com had the Texas high school product as a four-star prospect, rated as the No. 27 running back in the country. The player himself appears to be dealing well with this abrupt hiccup, and is excited about the prospects a second recruiting period brings.
