Stewart (6-foot-6, 315 lbs.) is a three-star prospect from Cleveland, Ohio. He played tackle and guard at ASA College. Stewart made an official visit to Morgantown this past weekend. He told WVSN that the number one thing he was looking for is a family atmosphere.

“They need to show me they genuinely care about their players because some universities that have big programs, it’s not that,” Stewart said on Friday. “The money doesn’t come into play until you play professionally, most people don’t think about life after football. It could be over the second I step off the plane and twist my ankle.”
