Jaidyn Stephenson (born 15 January 1999) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Collingwood Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). He was drafted by Collingwood with their first selection and sixth overall in the 2017 national draft.[1] He made his debut in the 34-point loss to Hawthorn at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in the opening round of the 2018 season.[2] His performance in the 48-point win against Adelaide in round four of the 2018 season—in which he recorded thirteen disposals, five goals, four marks and three tackles—earned him the round nomination for the AFL Rising Star.[3]
