Georgia Bulldogs defensive back Tyrique Stevenson is among the favorites to win the starting role at nickel or STAR corner next season. He’ll be competing with primarily Mark Webb and Divaad Wilson. Stevenson came to Athens as a talented early enrollee (four-star recruit).

He played in all 14 games as a true freshman in 2019. He broke up five passes and recorded 13 tackles throughout the season. His highlight of the season was sacking Auburn quarterback Bo Nix in UGA’s 21-14 win over the Tigers. He’s always a threat blitzing off the edge and will be a valuable piece of the secondary next season.
