Tape breakdown
While making the transition from low to higher levels of Division I to competition is extremely difficult in football, it seems quite impossible to jump from Division II to Conference USA play, especially to move from Limestone College to Jacksonville State and play against C-USA play.
But he made it easy for Jacksonville State to run through Tre Stewart. He made a jump from Limestone College to Jacksonville State after three seasons, Stewart literally ran C-USA, rushing to lead C-USA, and in 2024 he was the third best in the country in college football.
During his three seasons at Limestone, Stewart rushed for nearly 3,000 yards under heavy workloads. That experience helped him move to the gamecock under former head coach Rich Rodriguez as Stewart was Jacksonville’s Bellcaw and posted his video game number.
At 187 pounds at 5087, the Stewart has a well-built frame with a strong lower half, with good contact balance and can perform tackle attempts.
Stewart’s vision and ability to choose defense without losing speed have found the opening to be highly intriguing on tape. He can quickly navigate and find the lane while still working downhill. His eyes are constantly looking, and he frequently makes the right decisions.
I wish him good luck if he was in space.
That’s the speed of a home run right there.
Stewart is shot from the cannon with a snap and quickly becomes high gear. He does an amazing job of reaching a side hustle, turning the corner and overtaking the angle the defender has on him. He is a one-cut runner and can create explosive plays.
He’s going to find green grass and you’re not going to beat him with an arm tackle. He is good at staying on his feet and running through tackle attempts in his lower half, as he does here to enter the end zone against freedom.
A person in charge similar to that of freedom. Stewart is good at searching for spaces, finding them and not being denied.
Here he has a nice hard arm to throw away the defender, then he has a place to keep inbound, flip and enter the score. It’s a great example of it being good body control and balance.
In Stewart’s game, contact balance is really important.
All the staff members for Middle Tennessee. He gives a good vision to first pass through traffic and find holes. Once he passes, he becomes very dynamic in the open field.
He moves big in space to shake downhill safety, and he remains on his feet and changes what appears to be a good gain for the very explosive play of the run game, showing that contact balance.
He played mostly in the spreads, but Stewart showed good patience with the tape.
He gets the ball and has a lot of replies who smack the hole in blurry, but there’s a play where he shows off his vision and patience, develops things, then smashes the hole and bursts.
Like this guy at Louisiana Tech. He slowly takes things away, showing off his ability to show off his footwork in the backfield to avoid initial penetration, then he can find a hole after flying it avoiding contact and barely touched for the score.
Stewart has good powers in his game as well. He was not commissioned for such a powerback in the Jacksonville state attack, but due to the amount of space and time produced in the attack, Stewart has good leg drives and is able to drag defenders.
Please take this person freely. It’s a short yard situation and Stewart is the hammer between the tackles.
He is small, but he is strong and can move the mountains with leg drive and desire. He does it here against freedom in the dominant show, and the rep checks many boxes.
Conclusion
I didn’t know much about Jacksonville running Tre Stewart outside of him. His tapes are definitely intriguing. Amazing vision, a good burst in the ball in his hand, the contact balance across his tape is impressive, and he has the knack for creating an explosive play.
But the real concern for him is that he only has one year of experience with Division I. He was good at limestone, but he doesn’t take much away from Division II football. He has heavy workloads for four seasons, which is a concern.
But for those who profile as a valuable flyer as UDFA, Stewart is the man who can carve out the role of the NFL team in his running back position.
