M.J. Stewart returns to UNC football, leads secondary

Posted Nov 6, 2015
In his first game back from suspension, UNC cornerback M.J. Stewart compiled six tackles, one sack and three pass breakups while matched up against arguably the best receiver in the country in Pittsburgh’s Tyler Boyd for most of the night. It was the performance Stewart and the Tar Heels needed, and if you ask his coaches, it was the one he has continued to build toward. (Daily Tar Heel)
