The young gladiator from Memphis, Tennessee had his most productive game on November 2,2019 against the Tigers of Jackson State. Despite APBU coming up on the short end of a 21-12 score , there is no doubt Steward left it all on the field with a season high 10 tackles and 2 tackles for loss (Including a Sack)
