I should hear something late this week or early next week.” Page did visit UTEP earlier in the summer but said his focus is strictly on USC. “South Carolina is my thing,” Page said adding he hasn’t thought much about what he will do if his waiver request is denied.

Both schools give Stevens an opportunity to play early as a hybrid linebacker/defensive end. “I want to get a good education and be an impact player early,” Stevens said. Schools like Clemson, Georgia, Florida and Vandy are showing interest but want to see more film on Stevens. “Clemson is telling me they want to see me rush the passer,” Stevens added. He does not have any favorites.
