Elijah Stephens is American’s steadied engine: small guard, big-time poise
In the 2024-25 season, Stephens was the kind of guard coaches trust when possessions get tight: he averaged 17.5 points and 7.5 assists in a strong road week, shot 63.6% from the field and 71.4% from three, and reached rare program milestones with 1,000+ points and 400+ assists. His differentiators are craft, pace, and resilience—at 5-foot-9, he wins with feel, shot selection, and control rather than size. If your team needs a composed lead guard who can run an offense, hit big shots, and keep turnovers down, he’s a very real fit.
