Basketball guard Stewart looks to make football team as wide receiver

Senior guard Austin Stewart’s Central Michigan career seemed to be over when the men’s basketball team lost to Tennessee-Martin in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament March 16.

The day after the loss — in which he had two points in nine minutes off the bench — Stewart sat down with football Head Coach John Bonamego. On the same day, he took passes from former Chippewa quarterback Dan LeFevour following CMU Pro Day.

He practiced with the football team for the first time on Tuesday as a wide receiver.
