Around the locker room and training facility Bulldogs’ cornerback Tyrique Stevenson is nicknamed “The Freak” by his teammates and coaches.
As a freshman, the Miami, FL native played in all 13 games this season finishing with 13 total tackles, five pass breakups, which was second on the team, and four quarterback pressures. At the post-season awards gala, he shared the Co-defensive Newcomer of the Year.
With all those accomplishments, Stevenson didn’t feel like it was good enough for his first year in Athens.
“I just feel like I could have done a little more,” Stevenson said after Georgia’s loss to LSU in the SEC Championship.
