Cole Steward is a depth-tight end for Southern Illinois with limited receiving production
In the 2025 season, Cole Steward played in 12 games and made 2 starts for Southern Illinois, finishing with 3 catches for 15 yards; ESPN’s career stat line also shows 6 receptions, 25 yards, and 1 touchdown overall. His current profile suggests a role player rather than a featured pass-catcher, so the main reason to care is fit: he offers experienced TE depth, but the available data does not point to high-end receiving upside or standout production yet.
