He is phonebooth quick, he has the ability to make defenders miss in space and he has that extra gear to separate at the second level. His big play ability with the football in his hands was a big reason that Chapel Hill made an appearance in the state title game last season. Stewart had a big game last week in a big win over East Texas powerhouse Gilmer. He scored two touchdowns including an 88-yards catch that showed off his loaded toolbox of skills. Look for Chapel Hill to continue to feed Stewart this season. He is committed to Texas. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["918688"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66e1014fa2a1b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Turner Jr. is a physical runner who has the next level speed to make big plays in the running game.
