Last season, Stevens was a first-team All-B1G selection by the media after averaging 21.1 points and 8.8 rebounds per game. Following his big year, Stevens now ranks fifth all-time in scoring at Penn State with 1,660 through three years.
Though Penn State finished the year 14-18 and jus 7-13 in B1G play, Stevens helped the Nittany Lions notch upset wins over Virginia Tech, Michigan and Maryland.
Stevens will be one of the B1G’s top returning players for the 2019-20 season.
