TCU’s first wide receiver commitment in the football recruiting class of 2018 is the son of the late John Stephens, a former New England Patriots running back.
John Stephens Jr., rated a 3-star receiver, chose the Horned Frogs over schools including Arizona State, Ole Miss, Mississippi State and Memphis, Scout.com reported.
Stephens went from a 5-foot-6, 140-pound freshman to a 6-4 1/2 , 210-pounder as a junior last season for Logansport, La., the Shreveport Times reported last fall. Logansport won the Louisiana Class 1A state football title last year.
The Louisiana prospect was in Fort Worth last week for the Frogs’ skills camp, HornedFrogsBlitz.
