Summary

In today’s episode, I sit down with Dylan Stewart, a standout defensive end for the University of South Carolina and a five-star recruit. Winning the Crunch Time Award is more than just an accolade for him—it’s a testament to his discipline, preparation, and ability to rise to the occasion. He shares the habits that separate great players from the rest, from staying accountable to mastering the basics. We also talk about mentorship, faith, and the mindset needed to handle success and pressure. With a strong support system and a relentless work ethic, Dylan is proving that the simple things—like being on time and doing extra work—make all the difference.
