The 6’4 guard’s offensive production and steady presence have made him a star in the Colonels’ lineup as the team moves into the postseason. Stewart on the recognition:
“I would first like to thank everyone for voting me for athlete of the month. I want to give a special shoutout to my teammates and coaches for pushing me every single day to be the best version of myself, not only as an athlete but also as a person. I also want to give a shoutout to my mom, her selflessness and sacrifice is the reason I’m where I’m at today. I am very thankful to be named Athlete of The Month and I will continue to show hard work and dedication on and off the court.”
