A veteran WVU linebacker with size, experience, and steady production
In the 2025 season, Deshawn Stevens posted 25 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, 0.5 sacks, and 3 pass breakups for West Virginia, giving the Mountaineers an experienced, physical linebacker presence in a 6-foot-2, 255-pound frame[1][3]. He brings two-way value as a reliable tackler and special-teams contributor, and his game is built on strength, versatility, and knowing how to fit into a defense rather than flashy splash plays[1][4]. If a team wants a mature, low-drama, plug-and-play veteran who can stabilize the middle and do the dirty work, Stevens fits the bill[1][4].
