Summary
In this week's episode of The Hog Pod, we sit down with Dwight Stewart, a cornerstone of Arkansas basketball's golden era. Stewart opens up about his journey from Memphis to Fayetteville, the bonds that carried the Razorbacks to the 1994 national championship, and the lessons he learned playing under Coach Nolan Richardson. Known as a versatile role player who could stretch the floor, Stewart shares behind-the-scenes stories about nearly transferring, late-night workouts with teammates, and the unforgettable moments that defined his career. Now inducted into the Razorback Hall of Honor, he reflects on what the recognition means to him and why the relationships built during those years remain so strong today.
