Jon Stephens brings JUCO-tested size and guard-ready versatility to Akron
Jon Stephens is a 6-foot-3, 285-pound sophomore offensive lineman for Akron in 2026, with experience from Holmes Community College where he played in seven games as a freshman in 2025; that gives him some real live-game seasoning, not just camp buzz. He’s a compact, plug-and-play interior lineman with enough size to hold up inside and enough developmental upside to become a reliable MAC mauler. The fit question is simple: if a team wants toughness, depth, and a lineman who has already handled game reps, Stephens is the kind of under-the-radar add worth betting on.
