Former Georgia Bulldogs defensive back Tyrique Stevenson, who transferred to the Miami Hurricanes, is declaring for the 2023 NFL draft.
Stevenson finished the 2022 college football season with 25 total tackles, two interceptions, and seven pass deflections. Miami had a very disappointing 5-7 season, but Stevenson was one of the few brights spots on the Hurricanes.

During the 2020 season at Georgia, Stevenson saw action in all 10 games, leading the team in pass breakups and finishing 5th in tackles. Stevenson’s best play of the season came in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, when he defected a fourth down pass to give Georgia’s offense an opportunity to win the game.
Stevenson is a former four-star recruit out of Miami Southridge High School. The Miami defensive back announced that he would be entering the NFL draft via Twitter:
