This season Omari and the Trinity Christian Lions football team went 6-5 and had a 5-2 record in region play. Omari was able to lead the Trinity Lions to a playoff berth. This season he recorded 16 total tackles, 2 tackles for loss, 1 sack, and 2 interceptions. He uses his speed and ball-hawking skills to become a lockdown corner. Even when opposing QB’s think they have their receivers open, he has great enough recovery speed to make up that lost ground and get a pass break up or potential chance for an interception. He has the ability to lockdown receivers and a whole side of a football field. We were able to talk and interview Omari.
Having a strong support system is important. Being able to have people that you can turn to whenever things get tough or even for motivation is important for young athletes. Most times when an athlete has people that always support them, it makes them play better as a player.

Teams cannot win if they do not play as one unit or together. Playing football requires you to play as a team, not one individual can carry a team to victory. Being a good teammate is important to a team’s success.
“A good teammate is someone who plays for their teammates, someone who is willing to fight for their brothers. A good teammate is coachable, and understanding, they are upfront with their teammates and lead by example, they are also good for the locker room and the morale of a team.
DB Omari Stewart – When asked about what makes a good teammate.
Each player has different motivations for playing football. Having something or someone that motivates you as player, allows you to work harder to strengthen your craft.
“Knowing that I can be much better than I am right now, as well as loving to compete and be challenged is my motivation, I love competition.”
