He attended local public schools in <a href="/wiki/Northumberland_County,_Virginia" title="Northumberland County, Virginia">Northumberland County</a> through high school. Beginning in 1919, Stevens attended the <a href="/wiki/College_of_William_and_Mary" class="mw-redirect" title="College of William and Mary">College of William and Mary</a> where he was a star baseball pitcher. There he gained the nickname "Gi" meaning "giraffe" for his lanky physique.

He declined to run against the local commonwealth's attorney in 1927, having witnessed that man successfully transport an accused African-American prisoner to the <a href="/wiki/Petersburg,_Virginia" title="Petersburg, Virginia">Petersburg</a> jail rather than accede to a local lynch mob.
