UTEP's Keenan Stewart is entering the 2024 NFL Draft as a defensive tackle who loves to 'attack,' which happens to be coach DeMeco Ryans' top objective for the Houston Texans.
HOUSTON — Coach DeMeco Ryans knew what positions needed the most improvements when the Houston Texans walked off the field of M&T Bank Stadium followingAfter the team rushed for 38 yards on the ground, Ryans was aware the Texans had to upgrade their backfield.
At the time, the NFL appeared to be a distant dream. Stewart redshirted his first year and spent every practice studying the game as a scout team prospect. Taking a step back and learning from more experienced players helped shape Stewart into an NFL prospect who can help the Texans' interior defensive line.
He also achieved an impressive feat by recording two or more tackles in each of the 12 games he played during the 2023 season. Stewart recorded a season-high six tackles in September, helping the Miners win 28-14 over the University of the Incarnate Word Cardinals.
