In his second season on the Northwesterrn State coaching staff, Maurice Stewart returns to a familiar role — coaching wide receivers.
Stewart, who came to Natchitoches from Belhaven with head coach Blaine McCorkle, spent the 2024 season as the Demons’ running backs coach.
His return to the wide receiver room brings him back to the final position he coached on McCorkle’s Belhaven staff.
Stewart spent the 2023 season coaching wide receivers at Belhaven. In his lone season in that role, Stewart helped mold Jacobey James-Grace into a second-team all-conference selection after James Grace averaged 17.9 yards per catch and tallied five touchdown grabs.
Stewart spent the 2021 and 2022 seasons as Belhaven’s defensive graduate assistant, helping 11 players notch All-American Southwest Conference honors in that time frame.
Prior to returning to his alma mater, Stewart spent two seasons at Millsaps College, coaching wide receivers and serving as the Majors’ video coordinator.
A standout defensive back at Belhaven from 2015-18, Stewart talled 114 career tackles in 37 games.
