Update on Sam Stewart
From The Thresher:
Quote:Nearly five months later, Stewart is finishing his coursework to graduate in May and is completely healthy.
While he can’t practice, he is helping the football team by filming spring practices and meeting with recruits. Outside of football, he said he is currently in the process of searching for a job in finance.

Considering the title of the article contains "career ending injury".. I'd go out on a limb and say no.

"“I was just thinking I’m about to get cleared to play,” Stewart said. “[The doctor] had the images of the tests he had done pulled up, my images and a normal person’s image. He showed me the discrepancies … In two areas, in my neck and my lower back, the spinal cord was supposed to be 16 millimeters in diameter and mine was only 10 or 11. I didn’t have those shock absorbers to take impact.”
As a result of his spine, Stewart can no longer play football. He said he was heartbroken when the doctors told him he had to quit the sport he loved."

RE: Update on Sam Stewart
Congrats to Sam on his upcoming graduation as well! And for sticking it out at RICE when times were tough.
Quote:"There were definitely times when I reconsidered why I came here because school is hard,” Stewart said. “Classes get hard, football gets tough, we weren’t winning. It was tough, a big accumulation of a lot of things really made me second guess if I (chose the right school). Looking back at it, it’s a reward once you get through it. Times get tough anywhere you go, but once I actually saw the bigger picture and allowed myself to step back, that’s when I realized I made the right decision."

This is always good to hear. How many of us didn't feel that way about Rice at one time or another?

Oh okay. I didn't see the link. It's a shame. In my opinion, that young man may be our best running back since Michael Perry.

Sam is awesome, but give Esupka a chance. He will shine in this offense.

RE: Update on Sam Stewart
When he was lying motionless, I was wondering if it was even worth having football if that was the result.
