Malik Stewart brings reliable depth and a game-changing special-teams pop for UNI
In the 2025 season, Malik Stewart appeared in all 12 games for Northern Iowa, logging six total tackles and even blocking a field goal at Illinois State, which shows he can impact a game beyond the box score.[2] He profiles as a sturdy, experienced defensive lineman whose value is reliability, motor, and special-teams versatility rather than eye-popping production.[1][2] If your team wants a blue-collar interior defender who stays available and flashes situational playmaking, he’s worth attention.[2]
