The Cincinnati Bengals' first-round draft pick, Shemar Stewart, will not be rejoining the Texas A&M football team for the upcoming college football season. This decision comes after speculation that Stewart had returned to Texas and was working out with the Aggies, raising hopes of a possible comeback.
On Tuesday, reports surfaced indicating that Shemar Stewart was back in Texas, engaging in workouts with the Aggies. However, these rumors were quickly dispelled by Kelsey Conway, and confirmation from the team soon followed. Coach Mike Elko addressed the situation, stating, "There’s no intentions of Shemar to play for the Aggies this year." This statement clarifies the uncertainty surrounding Stewart's status and reinforces his commitment to the Bengals.
In an interview with ESPN’s Shae Cornette, Coach Mike Elko elaborated on Shemar Stewart's current situation, saying, "But Shemar has been around. He’s very comfortable in our program. Really likes what we do training-wise." This indicates that, while Stewart will not be returning to the Aggies, he has maintained a positive relationship with the program and continues to train in preparation for his upcoming season with the Bengals.
As the Bengals move forward, the focus will be on signing Shemar Stewart to his rookie contract and ensuring he is ready for the upcoming training camp. With the confirmation of his decision not to return to Texas A&M, the Bengals can now concentrate on integrating Stewart into their training regimen, allowing him to fully prepare for the challenges of the NFL.
In conclusion, while the situation initially sparked concern among Bengals fans, it seems that a potential crisis has been averted. Shemar Stewart is now firmly focused on his future with the Cincinnati Bengals, and fans are eager to see how he will contribute to the team's success in the upcoming season.
