Justin Stevens is a 6-6 285lb OL/DL from Nova Scotia attending Clarkson Football North Prep in Ontario Canada. Decommitted from EMU 11/14. Other offers from Buffalo, Coastal Carolina, Fordham, Maine, Northern Illinois, Syracuse, Toledo and UMass.
Highlights
If Princeton can play a Game in Shanghai, China ... why can't UCONN have an international Game in a big Eastern Canada city
What's going on ... Football is a much bigger sport - and the Canadian athletic foundation of Preps, Clubs, PeeWee is far more advanced than 2006 when I moved there. Friends who coached then & maintain broad contacts through the two most active provinces for us - Ontario & Quebec - say that the participation has increased dramatically. NFL is big on Sundays for young Canadian males; it is the only sport that interrupts HockeyTalk on SportsRadio 24/7.
It is absolutely good strategy. We will get big linemen; we will get fast skill players (Canadian immigration from lots of global markets is robust as well); we will get kids that can throw - in inclement weather; and the skill leval and coaching is getting far better.

Us needing him and our coaches being able convince him to come here don't seem intersect.we need him on our D... great timing on his hits... would make opposing offensive WRs think twice about catching the football over the middle of the field....
My question is the offers he had, were they still available from Missouri and Indiana?
Schools fill spots and players lose out. Of course if he signs late instead of in December he could find a spot at a bigger school.
under the radar LB - Jalen Gopie from Waterbury trying to get on the radar.
we better keep him in the loop.. we let a few slide by.. Let's not let this happen again... And at 6'2 220lb (already) playing LB (but was all state at RB) I would think he can run plenty enough for this level...if the kid can run fast & likes to hit ...
Connecticut kids (and New England) might have scholarship options beyond full Athletic. State U can be creative.
That's what we need.. He's under the radar too...I'm gonna try and get out to his game this week. He can definitely run and he is a grade A student. I know he has visited Holy Cross and i believe Dartmouth. He plays in Class S for a school that has only been in existence for a decade or so. He is a bit of a manchild on the field.
