DEL.ICIO.USDutchtown WR Joe Stewart hearing from Hawaii
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Dutchtown’s Joe Stewart’s distracting ways have helped the Bulldogs to a breakout season.
In its fifth varsity season, the Henry County school has assured itself of its first non-losing season. The Bulldogs are 5-4 heading into this weekend’s game against Region 4-AAAA leader North Clayton. They had not won more than two games in any of the previous four seasons.
A big reason is the 6-foot, 165-pound Stewart, who has played quarterback, wide receiver, running back and kick returner. He specializes in returning kicks and playing receiver.
His 4.4 speed in the 40 has drawn attention of more than recruiters.
“When I’m on the field, people are looking to see where I am,” said Stewart, who was averaging three catches and 40 receiving yards per game entering last week’s 27-22 loss to Griffin. “People won’t even kick off to me. If they kick it, they kick it away from me. I’m double-teamed all the time [at receiver]. …
“I don’t like it, but if that helps my team win, it’s OK being a distraction.”
Stewart has offers from Missouri, where his father Joe Sr. played, as well as Stanford, Ole Miss, North Carolina State, Central Florida, Hawaii and several smaller programs.
