2x North State Coach of the Year (1940, 1947)

A native of Strawn, Texas, Stewart attended Furman University where he played as an end on the football team from 1929 to 1930.[3]

He joined the Appalachian State football staff in 1935 as an assistant coach. By 1940, he had taken over as athletic director.[4]

In 1941, he served as head football coach at Tampa for one season before resigning.[5]

Stewart became Maryland head basketball coach in 1947, after the longstanding tenure of Burton Shipley. He was also a member of Jim Tatum's football staff as an assistant coach.[6] Stewart's basketball teams were not successful, however, and after three losing seasons, was replaced by Bud Millikan.[7] He also worked as an associate professor of physical education.[8]

Stewart died on November 17, 1956 in Greenville, South Carolina, succumbing to a two-year illness.[9]
