James Steward brings a big-frame, rim-protecting frontcourt profile to Montana State
In the 2025-26 season, James Steward is a 6-foot-8 forward for Montana State who redshirted, so there’s no college stat line yet—but his upside is loud: he arrived with a high-school track record of elite rebounding, shot-blocking, and production, including 22.0 points, 15.8 rebounds, and 3.2 blocks per game as a senior, plus state-leading double-doubles. The fit is obvious for a team that wants size, toughness, and paint protection; the swing factor is how quickly his face-up and back-to-the-basket game translates against Division I length.
