Mercyhurst LB Austin Stewart brings multi-sport toughness and an early defensive footprint
Austin Stewart is a sophomore linebacker for Mercyhurst who already has game experience and a first-career tackle on the board after appearing in one game in 2023, and his background as an all-star in football plus lacrosse, volleyball, and track suggests a well-rounded, competitive athlete with useful athleticism and coachability[7]. At 6-foot-0 and 205 pounds, he looks like a developmental defender whose value is more about upside, versatility, and effort than finished production right now, which makes him a plausible fit for a program that wants a hungry, multi-sport competitor who can grow into a role[7].
