Schools of Choice: Undecided

The Dish: Stevenson has had a great start to the outdoor season with the first wind-legal 50-footer of his career. That puts him US No. 2 currently. But that's also been a familiar theme from Stevenson over the last two seasons. He was over 49 feet twice in 2017 and 48 feet four times. His ability to go over 50 feet as a senior will only help his value as a potential collegiate recruit. But his versatility will be important, too. In the long jump, Stevenson just hit a wind-legal mark of 23-10.25 (a school record), though he will also be eying up potential marks in the 24-foot range throughout the spring.
