Former Wisconsin signee Jordan Stevenson, who was denied admission to the University of Wisconsin, is back on the market after receiving a release from the Badgers on Friday.

In less than 45 minutes after receiving his release, Stevenson spoke with coaches from nine different college programs, including Oregon State, Nebraska, Louisville, Indiana, Pittsburgh, Texas Tech, Florida, Alabama and Tennessee.

Of the group, Stevenson said that three schools "stick out" early- those are the Beavers, Huskers and Vols.

-Stevenson had a previous relationship with Oregon State head coach Gary Andersen, who was formally the head coach at Wisconsin and accepted the four-star running backs original commitment to the Badgers. He also likes that Oregon State runs a spread offense.

-Nebraska could be considered the very early "leader in the clubhouse" because of the Huskers' depth chart. Stevenson is scheduled to speak with head coach Mike Riley tonight via phone.

-The Crimson Tide's depth chart at running back is not working in their favor, but Stevenson said that Alabama recruiter Billy Napier communicated to him that the Tide could lose both Derrick Henry and Kenyan Drake to the NFL Draft following this season, essentially gutting the depth at that position. Stevenson is set to speak with Tide head coach Nick Saban tonight.

-Stevenson also could possibly communicate with coaches from Miami (Fla.) and Michigan this evening.

The 5-foot-8, 210-pound Stevenson, from South Oak Cliff High in Dallas, Texas, was the No. 17 running back prospect in the 2015 cycle per 247Sports Composite rankings.
