Archibaldo (Archie) Stephens '24 Recruiting Profile

As the oldest of seven children, I have already experienced many challenges that taught me priceless lessons about what really matters: family, mental toughness, and HARD WORK. My family of 9 has endured financial struggles, but we never let that hardship tear us down!  I am responsible, motivated, and have an intense desire to learn and grow into my best self. My academic goal is to earn a Business Degree that will allow me to start my own small business. I am a graduate of the International Student Leadership Institute, and actively volunteer in my church and community. On the field, I am a player who gives 1,000% every day, plays with the fire in my heart, appreciates and seeks feedback, demonstrates character and leadership, and is always a positive influence on the team. My mother's first cousin is Tedy Bruschi, Linebacker for the New England Patriots, and my father's Great Uncle was recently canonized St. John (Cardinal) Henry Newman. I believe I have what it takes to be one of your best recruits, and I'm looking for the right football program where I can develop into my greatest potential.
