Dick Harmon: Running back coach AJ Steward still on high alert for backfield talent at BYU

Rice running backs coach AJ Steward coaches during an Owls practice. Tuesday, BYU announced that it has hired Steward to become the Cougars' new running backs coach.

He hunts.

Running backs coach AJ Steward says he remains on alert for running back talent to bring to BYU even though the National Letter of Intent signing date came and went last week without obtaining a few desired targets.

While others may wonder what is up, Steward says the running back situation “is in a good place right now, to be honest with you.”

In other words, don’t ditch or diss his guys already on the team — don’t sell them short.
