Stewart has posted three receiving touchdowns and 414 receiving yards on 19 catches while also scoring one rushing touchdown for 82 rushing yards on six carries.
In his social media post, Stewart thanked his friends, teammates, supporters, and coaches for being there with him "since the beginning." He specifically thanked his coaches for playing key roles in developing him as well as breaking him out of his shell in order to become the player he is today.
"I will be foregoing the rest of my senior season and mentally and physically preparing myself for the next level of my football career and a huge step in life," Stewart wrote in a screenshot he shared to Twitter:
