PROVO — AJ Steward’s brother lived in New York City, and during visits Steward had passed through Harlem but never stopped to soak in the famed cultural capital of black America, just outside the glitz of Manhattan’s elite, until he became a BYU football coach.
Last week when a party of 40 or so BYU football players, coaches, wives and support staff returned to Harlem to conduct a camp for the Harlem Jets youth football program, receiver Micah Simon was genuinely touched when kids remembered him and welcomed him back.
