NEW ORLEANS-Everything was set for him to reign supreme.
And he did. Well, at least for a quarter and a half.
During that time in the 35 State Farm Bayou Classic, arguably the biggest stage Southern junior Juamorris Stewart will ever play on as a Jaguar, his presence was felt.
But during his teams’ tumultuous second half collapse, Stewart, in front of NFL scouts and 59,874 fans fell victim as well.
He had entered the game with a team leading 67 receptions, 964 yards and 11 touchdowns. In fact, Stewart’s 964 yards and 11 scores were the most for an SU receiver entering the Bayou Classic since Michael Hayes’ single-season school record of 90 receptions for 1,328 yards and 15 TDs in 2000.
Stewart finished the game with nine receptions for 174 yards and one TD. That puts him at 76 receptions for 1,138 yards and 12 TDs. That mark is tops in the Southwestern Athletic Conference in TDs and is second most in school history behind Hayes.
Since then, only three receivers had more than 800-yards in one season. Hayes (873 yards in 2002), Chris Davis (897 yards in 2003) and Alfred Ard (863 yards in 2003).
“I’m not too big on the stats, I don’t really focus on it,” Stewart said. “It just comes from hard work. Next year they should expect more.”
More will begin with Stewart securing the football in traffic to guard against defenders looking for the strip and holding on to passes he’s routinely dropped.
But still, with such an impressive showing on national television, would Stewart consider turning pro?
“No. I want to win MVP again next year with a different outcome in the game,” Stewart said.
After all, Stewart only had two receptions and 16 yards in the second half.
“He’s a guy that can just go up and get the football,” Grambling coach Rod Broadway said. “He’s really a problem if covered one-on-one. That’s why we tried to get more pressure up front in the second half.”
Coupled with Grambling’s defensive surge and Bryant Lee’s thumb injury, backup Warren Matthews often found himself running for daylight.
Like Lee, Stewart played injured as well.
“It was tough on my hand,” Stewart said. “I’ve been dealing with it all season, so I can’t complain about it. If I was going to play, I was going to play. There are no excuses.”
If Stewart turns pro or not is yet to be seen. But if not, there’s always next year.
