We only get one more year of Linden Stephens, who will return as the best cornerback on a Cincinnati Bearcats roster that he has been on for three years after a year at Fork Union Military Academy. During his time as a Bearcat, Stephens has been rock solid and as durable as anyone on the squad. He played 13 games as a freshman and has participated in 38 total, racking up 12 games a year ago as one of UC’s primary starting cornerbacks.
Stephens really developed as a one-on-one defender in his junior season.
