Stevens produced one of the top highlights of the 2025 season when he made his AFL debut in Round 17, putting together a sensational performance in his first outing at senior level.
The bullocking midfielder collected 21 disposals and eight clearances against Richmond, finishing with a game-high 14 score involvements and kicking a goal of his own to whip the Cats faithful into a frenzy.
Stevens also continued to excel at VFL level, averaging 29 disposals and six tackles per game while also leading the Cats for clearances across his 14 games.
Geelong re-drafted Stevens at the end of the season to the Rookie List, which will see the 20-year-old return to the club in 2026.
