He also averaged 46 yards per kickoff return and 15.4 yards per punt return, adding two touchdowns in the return game. Stewart was previously a first-team All-Region 3 selection and a first-team All-America selection in 2022, when he played for Trinity (Texas).
A senior from Houston, Texas, Williams finished with 72 tackles, 40 of them solo, in East Texas Baptist’s 10-game season. He was credited with 16½ tackles for loss, including 10½ sacks, while blocking three kicks and forcing three fumbles. ETBU finished with a 4-6 record.
The teams, selected in balloting by Region 3 sports information directors and D3football.com staff, were chosen from 200 nominations by full Division III member schools. A total of 78 players were chosen. Players nominated for All-Region are eligible to be considered for D3football.com All-America honors, which will be announced Monday, Dec. 22, 2025.
