2023 Decatur Central (Ind.) athlete Aycen Stevens‍ made his way up to Notre Dame for Irish Invasion over the weekend.

The 6-foot-4, 200-pounder doubles as a quarterback and linebacker and worked out on defense for the Irish on Sunday afternoon. 

"It was pretty good," Stevens told ISD. "I wish they would have offered, but that can come later down the road. It was a good camp and really organized." 

Stevens felt he competed well against the stiff competition and hopes to build on it moving through summer camps. 

"They had all their top prospects there, so the competition was really high," explained Stevens. "I felt I competed really well with their top guys. I felt really good on Sunday."

The energy and passion from the staff stood out to Stevens and he will likely return in the fall for a game.  

"They were really energetic as a staff," stated Stevens. "They got us from point A to point B with energy.

"I talked to the linebackers coach at the end to thank him for coaching me up. They did say they wanted me to come up for a game this fall." 

Before the camp, Stevens and his family took a campus tour, which included Notre Dame Stadium. 

"The campus is beautiful," Steven said. "I loved it. I loved every second of it. We took a tour early in the morning. We were able to get on the field and take some pictures. We walked down the tunnel and that was really cool. 

"To see Touchdown Jesus was something I was always wanted to see too." 

Stevens had a big weekend as he competed at the Lindenwood camp in front of over 30 Division I programs and Notre Dame, but he's far from done as he'll head south later this month. 

"On June 17th, I'm going to Cincinnati's camp, the 20th I'll be at Vanderbilt and the 27th I'll be at Tennessee," said Stevens. "The 25th of July, I'll be taking an unofficial visit to Iowa State." 

Offers: Indiana, Iowa State, Marshall, Miami (OH) and Purdue
