In Memoriam
The Dothan Eagle has reported that former Alabama football star Robert Stewart died yesterday in Charlotte, North Carolina at the age of 55. Stewart, who grew up in Houston County, came to Alabama as a fullback in 1988, and was switched to nose guard when the Gene Stallings staff took over. Stewart was First Team All SEC in 1991, and was drafted by the New Orleans Saints in the 8th round of the 1992 draft. Stewart wouldn’t stick in the NFL, but would have a stellar career in the Arena Football League for 12 seasons.
