Aycen Stevens Commits To Virginia Tech

Virginia Tech picked up a commitment from Indianapolis (IN) linebacker Aycen Stevens on Wednesday afternoon. He is the 11th commitment of the 2023 recruiting class and the second linebacker to verbal to the Hokies in as many days, joining Tavorian Copeland of Appomattox County (VA).

Stevens chose the Hokies over two other finalists – Iowa State and Purdue. He also held scholarship offers from Nebraska, Duke, Minnesota, Cincinnati, Indiana, Tennessee and West Virginia. He is ranked by 247 as the No. 10 prospect in the state of Indiana. On3 also ranks him No. 10 in the state, while Rivals has him at No. 7.

Stevens is listed anywhere between 6-4, 210 (247), 6-4, 200 (On3) and 6-5, 230 (Rivals). For the sake of argument, we're going to list him at 6-4, 220 on TSL. He is a linebacker with a big frame who TSL currently projects to play the Mike position, though he could also play on the short side of the field at Will.
