Spin.ph sources learned the Minnesota forward was quick to change addresses and immediately found a home at University of the East.

He posted averages of 3.7 points and 4.8 rebounds for Builders Warehouse-UST in the developmental league, while also collecting 5.5 points and 7.0 boards in the famed preseason tournament.
The 6-foot-7 Stevens can play for the Red Warriors this UAAP Season 85, beefing up their frontline which curently features Fil-Am Luis Salgado, Abdul Sawat, and Allan Beltran.
His teammate Willie Wilson is also moving to Recto, although his stint for UE is not much of a guarantee.
Wilson, an American guard who stands at 6-foot-3, put up 5.5 points, 1.5 boards, and 1.3 dimes in his six games for the Growling Tigers in the PBA D-League.
