Linebacker: Tony Steward

Tony Steward had Tiger fans extremely excited coming out of high school.

Steward was a part of that 2011 Clemson football recruiting class that saw several talented stars and he was, without a doubt, one of the headliners for the cycle.

When watching film, Tiger fans saw a nasty, headhunter who was physical and extremely athletic.

Unfortunately, Steward dealt with injuries and was never able to quite get over the hump with the Tigers at linebacker. He spent the majority of his career as a key reserve for the Tigers before getting a shot in the NFL with the Buffalo Bills in 2015.
