Kevin Stepherson was a receiver who made an instant impact for Notre Dame during his freshman year in 2016. Although the wins weren’t there for the team, Stepherson impressed with 25 receptions for over 400 yards and five touchdowns.
A year later he again found the end zone five more times while he hauled in another 359 yards. But that would be it for Stepherson in a Notre Dame uniform as multiple arrests for possession of marijuana and attempting to steal a pair of sweatpants from Macy’s ended things.
Stepherson got back into football, spending 2019 at Jacksonville State where he hauled in 36 receptions for 479 yards and six scores. Wednesday brought news that Stepherson has entered the transfer portal as he looks to find where he’ll use his final year of eligibility.
Interesting name back on the move; 2016 3-star WR Kevin Stepherson totaled 821 yds and 10 TD on 44 rec in 2 seasons before being dismissed by #ND; he then had 36 rec for 479 yds and 6 TD in 2019 at Jacksonville State @rivalsmike @RivalsWoody https://t.co/okrjMQf8GJ

Stepherson was listed at 6-1, 185 pounds last season with Jacksonville State. Here’s to hoping he has put his past issues in the rear view mirror and can stay on the right track in his final year of eligibility.
