Bowling Green, Ohio - Ben Steward will be a redshirt senior offensive lineman for the Bowling Green State University football team in 2016. But the impact he has made off the field will certainly be more significant than anything he does in an effort to help guide the Falcons to a fourth consecutive Mid-American Conference Championship Game appearance. Through the "Be The Match" program (https://bethematch.org), Steward was determined to be the perfect donor for bone marrow stem cells for a 31-year old woman with leukemia.
The "Be The Match" program was instituted by former football coach Dave Clawson and involves a simple cheek swab from donors.
