Lastly, he has a good basketball IQ. He does a good job of putting the help side defense in tough spot which results in either layups for himself or 3s for his teammates. Further, he has a soft touch on his passing which helps his bigs as he puts his lobs in the right spot by the rim.

Stewart’s recruitment is heating up which is enough cause for excitement. With that said, he gets the added benefit of being on what should be one of the top teams in the state this upcoming season.
When asked about his goals for the year, it was a simple one word answer, “State.” With Stewart, Tanner Cuff, and Isaac Johnson; American Fork should be in a position to have a great season.
When asked what he needs to bring to the table in order for that to happen, he was candid in his response, “In the past our team has struggled winning and playing together. I just want to bring energy back to AF.” The way that he believes he can do that is by being a “vocal leader” and creating shots for his teammates.
Stewart will play a huge role in whatever success American Fork has.
