"I give so much credit to those guys (Texas coaches)," Stewart said, via 247Sports. "[Quarterbacks coach] AJ Milwee, two times during spring he was in the weight room at 6:45 [a.m.] when I turned the lights on. When I say I’ve talked to him more than my wife, I mean, it, he called every single day. Sark’s so exceptional. They did the work. It was all about them. Hats off to Texas, it’s been amazing."

"I think everyone recruited right, but Sark especially I know is big on recruiting the whole athlete, the whole student, parents and coaches and that authenticity really resonates," Stewart said. “I think they did a great job of flipping the script. One thing Sark has been steadfast on is even when things seem bleak, he never wavered. When he talked to me, he was always texting me to me before games , incredibly positive. It wasn’t about where they were, it was about the future. And they never negative recruited. Milwee never said a negative thing. It was all about Texas."
