Detroit Cass Tech 6’7″ forward Kyle Steward decided to commit to the Youngstown State this afternoon on the 25 of April, 2013. Kyle was a transfer from Detroit Crockett last year after the school closed. Instead of going to East English Village, Kyle decided to join fellow division one signees, DeAngelo Stewart and D’Andre Johnson, for his senior year in which the Technecians captured the PSL West division championship before bowing out to Pershing for the City Title. Steward had a great season, averaging 14 points, eight rebounds and three assists per game
Kyle will be joining a 18-16 Penguin squad that finished 7-9 within the Horizon league and lost in the second round of the CIT Invitational. Kyle had offers from various schools across the country, including Jacksonville (FL), Houston Baptist (TX), Rider (NJ), and Cleveland State in Ohio. Kyle wanted to be a Penguin because “It was closer to home so all my family and friends could see me play.”
Other reasons why Kyle chose Youngstown is because of the connections he has within the coaching staff and the incoming recruiting class. Steve Hall, an assistant on the team, attended Cass Tech in the late 80s before having a successful college career. Including a couple stints in Detroit as a head high school coach. “Coach Hall has been recruiting me since the 9th grade,” said Steward, who will have little difficulty moving into a college athlete. To go along with a familiar coach, Steward will be joined by Romulus’ Jalon Plummer. “Yeah that’s my guy,” Steward on Plummer, “I’ve known been knowing him basically forever.” Steward will bring a long athletic frame, with the ability to guard multiple positions on the court, a tremendous rebounder, and a guy who can hit a perimeter shot or two.
Kyle wii be a great asset to the horizion leauge. Good fortune is ahead of him. @J0#king82
