two-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Stewart returned home from his mission this Summer and flipped his commitment from BYU to TCU. Stewart, listed at 6'11, committed to Mark Pope and the former BYU basketball staff.Stewart has something that BYU lacks: size. His 6'11 frame and 7'2 wingspan would been the tallest on the team. However,. Triplett will fill a very similar role for BYU and he has a few years of collegiate experience under his belt.
For his size alone, Stewart would have been a good addition to the roster, but it would have been unrealistic to expect him to be Big 12 ready only a few months removed from his two-year mission. By adding Triplett, the Cougars are more prepared for 2024-2025 should an injury limit the availability of either Fousseyni Traore of Keba Keita.Stewart is also excellent in the classroom. He graduated with a 4.0 GPA and he scored a 34 on the ACT.
