Background

Early life

Stuard helped take care of his four siblings while growing up, as his mother battled a drug addiction and his father spent time in prison.

College career

Stuard played four years with the University of Houston, primarily as a linebacker, although he also played some fullback.

As a freshman during the 2017 season, he recorded two assisted tackles both against Rice University and played in seven games before suffering a torn meniscus which caused him to miss four games as well as the 2017 Hawaii Bowl. In 2018, Stuard played 13 games and had one start and led the Cougars with 11 special teams tackles. He also played running back late in the year. For the season, he had five attempts and 35 yards running the ball, along with 30 tackles, 18 solo and 12 assisted. In the 2019 season, Stuard started all 12 games and had a team-leading 97 tackles including 9.5 tackles for loss, good for third in the American Athletic Conference (AAC), and also added one sack and four pass deflections. Stuard was named to the 2019 All-AAC Second-team. As a senior team captain in 2020, Stuard led the Cougars in tackles with 61 total (including 35 solo) during the COVID-shortened 7-game regular season. His 8.4 tackles per game led the AAC. For his senior season, he changed his uniform number from 3 to 0.

Stuard skipped the 2020 New Mexico Bowl to prepare for the upcoming NFL draft.

In the media

Stuard appeared in a television advertisement for Uber Eats during his rookie season; the ad humorously referenced his Mr. Irrelevant status by cutting him off as he is about to say his own name.
