Nelson Stewart went to Isidore Newman School for thirteen years. Stewart graduated from Newman in 1995 and grew up with a prominently known family from just over the Garden District of New Orleans: The Mannings.

Stewart played football at Newman with Peyton and Cooper Manning and saw Eli's success at Newman from afar while getting a degree at Tulane. Upon graduating from Tulane, Stewart came back to Newman. Stewart has been a football coach on staff for the Greenies for twenty-three years. For the last sixteen years, Stewart has been the head coach of Isidore Newman's varsity football team.

There are few who know the Manning family better than Stewart. The Greenies head coach admittedly thought the attention surrounding the Newman football program had peaked in the '90s. That is certainly not the case as now the No. 1 ranked 2023 prospect Arch Manning is adding to the Newman and Manning legacy. UGASports caught up with Stewart recently to discuss the Mannings' history at the Newman School and also the whirlwind recruitment process of Arch.
