Highlights:

Undefeated and defending state 3A champion Stewartville is one of the best stories of the developing 2025 season, as their move up to Class 4A has begun with raucous success. 2-0 start with a thumping of Benilde-St. Margaret’s a gritty, one-score win over perennial contender Totino-Grace in Week 2 have to have Tigers fans excited

Catalyst of this success is RB and returning stat monster , who is rightfully easing into his new role as Stewie’s RB1 to the tune of 62 carries for 409 yards and (6.6 YPC) and 3 TDs through two weeks

After rushing 123 times for 879 yards and 15 TDs as a junior as Stewartville’s RB2 en-route to an undefeated Class AAA state title, Abdi is stepping into the RB1 and go-to offensive weapon and playmaker for the Tigers 2025 campaign in Class 4A

Abdi carried 24 times for 163 yards and a touchdown in Stewartville’s 25-6 win over Benilde-St. Margaret’s. The senior stepped into the feature role after splitting time last year and delivered with a breakout performance that powered the Tigers’ offense in their season opener. At 5’11, 185 pounds, Abdi runs with toughness and urgency, showing good burst through the line and the balance to finish runs through contact. He has the speed to break chunk gains and is dangerous in the open field, where his footwork and athleticism allow him to force defenders into poor angles. A multisport athlete with basketball quickness, Abdi flashes explosiveness when cutting and accelerates into space with purpose. His ability to pick up hard yardage while still threatening big plays gives Stewartville a versatile and reliable option at tailback.
