Robert Louis Stevenson (born February 7, 1976) is an American former college football player who was a punter and placekicker for the Florida Gators football team of the University of Florida.
[3] Although he initially hoped to take a medical redshirt in 1998 and return the following year,[4] the diagnosis effectively ended his football career.
[3] Stevenson was criticized by some commentators for his inconsistency, as evidenced by delivering short kicks in lopsided victories but long punts in pressure situations when they mattered most.
[2] Stevenson's best season average was 42.1 yards per punt in 1996,[2] when Florida won the Southeastern Conference (SEC) title with an undefeated 8–0 conference season, and defeated the top-ranked Florida State Seminoles in the Sugar Bowl to win the consensus national championship.
Stevenson graduated from the University of Florida with a bachelor's degree in health and human performance in 2001.
