The 2023 edition of the Hoosier Huddle Countdown is officially underway! We are counting down from 100 to the beginning of the 2023 Indiana University football season. Each day, we will look at one (or two) players on the current Indiana football roster and highlight the player’s role in the upcoming season. Today we look at defensive lineman Race Stewart.
Name: Race Stewart
Hometown: Bloomington, Indiana (Bloomington North)
Position: Defensive Line
Year: Redshirt Sophomore
Height/Weight: 6’3”/310 pounds
Social Media: Twitter (@Stewart_Race)
Local product Race Stewart joined the program in 2021 as a walk-on. While he has not seen the field for game action, Stewart has been named Scout Team Player of the Week three times and is an Academic All-Big Ten Selection.
Stewart was also a standout wrestler at Bloomington North. The life of a walk-on is not easy, but hard work and grit can be rewarded with playing time. While Stewart probably won’t factor into the defensive line rotation, the hope is his hard work can be rewarded with some snaps in 2023.
The Hoosier Huddle Countdown to Kickoff rolls on with Day 63 tomorrow!
