LSU football began fall camp on Thursday and a familiar face was working with the defense. Former linebacker and safety [autotag]JaCoby Stevens[/autotag].
Stevens signed with LSU as a five-star athlete in 2017. He initially played offense, catching two passes his freshman year before moving to the defensive side, where he proved to be a versatile playmaker for defensive coordinator [autotag]Dave Aranda[/autotag].
Stevens racked up 21.5 tackles for loss in his LSU career with four interceptions and four fumble recoveries. He was a member of the 2019 national title team.
He played one year with the Philadelphia Eagles, appearing in three games and making one start.
Stevens’ versatility as a player should help him in the coaching ranks. This is a guy who played all over the defense in several schemes and also had a cup of tea on offense.
Stevens isn’t the only recent former player to be on staff. Last year, [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] brought back former running back [autotag]Nick Brossette[/autotag] to serve as the Director of Alumni Relations and High School Outreach.
