Stewart back to anchor Southern offensive line

This turned out to be a happy miscommunication. Southern offensive line coach Damon Nivens didn’t find out until around the Bayou Classic that center/guard Demarcus Stewart had the possibility of returning this season.

“We looked at it and figured out he had another year when he told us at the end of the season,” Nivens said. “He said, ‘Coach, I have another year.’ I said, ‘Really, that’s good. That’s good. That will give me more depth, more guys with experience up front.’” The confusion stemmed from when Stewart initially transferred from Nicholls State.
