2025 Tyler (Tex.) Chapel Hill running back Rickey Stewart<\/a><\/strong> went off in his team\u2019s win Friday night against Nacogdoches (Tex.) The four-star prospect carried 14 times for 153 yards and two touchdowns in the win.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it started, I just gave him a stiff arm and a spin move and I saw nothing but green and then, touchdown. I took off,\u201d Stewart said of his 75-yard touchdown run. \u201cI worked on my vision and pushing through when I\u2019m tired this offseason.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stewart is joined in the backfield by fellow SMU<\/a> commit and quarterback Demetrius Brisbon<\/a><\/strong>. The pair forms one of the top backfields in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s special,\u201d Stewart said. \u201cWith me and him back there, we can\u2019t be stopped. I got his back, he\u2019s got mine.\u201d<\/p>\n

SMU gives Stewart a home feeling<\/h2>\n

One of the top prospects in America, the 5-11, 180-pound playmaker has been on the road a little bit as well. The Mustangs are holding firm with his commitment.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeen visiting a lot of colleges lately, but right now I\u2019m locked in with SMU,\u201d he said. \u201cI went to TCU last Sunday, I\u2019ll see Baylor soon. I went to their (SMU) first game against Louisiana Tech, hot though.\u201d<\/p>\n

When it comes to his commitment to the Mustangs, Stewart said the family feel around the program is a key piece. Running backs coach Khenon Hall was in attendance for his game and has built a strong bond.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the way they treat each other like family, how the coaches is and it just feels like home every time I go to Dallas,\u201d he said. \u201cHe\u2019s good. Me and him have a good bond already. Good coach, can\u2019t wait to play with him in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The move to the ACC has a massive impact overall and Stewart sees that.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very big, very exciting,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Texas Tech, Oregon, Ole Miss, Baylor and TCU are the programs still pursuing him. He plans to return to see SMU again in the future.<\/p>\n

According to the\u00a0On3 Industry Ranking<\/a>, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies, Stewart ranks as the No. 255 overall prospect and No. 22 running back in the nation.<\/p>\n

On3 is even higher on him, ranking Stewart as the No. 142 overall prospect and No. 14 running back in the nation.<\/a><\/p>\n
