Dylan Stewart has second outburst of season as he flips opponent, kicks chair
Dylan Stewart flipped an Arkansas opponent, resulting in an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. He vented his frustration by kicking a chair.
In the 2026 college football season, South Carolina's Dylan Stewart has experienced two instances of emotional outbursts on the field. The most recent incident occurred during the Gamecocks' 34-6 defeat against unranked Arkansas. With South Carolina trailing 24-6 in the fourth quarter, Stewart caused a stop on third-and-2 by forcefully tackling tight end Matt Adcock. This penalty not only granted Arkansas a new set of downs but also led to a field goal for the Razorbacks.
Following the game, footage showed a visibly upset Stewart kicking a chair into a heating fan on the sideline. This behavior mirrored a similar incident earlier in the season when Stewart, considered one of the most promising NFL draft-eligible players, punched Alabama's Josh Ford three times during a 49-18 loss in Week 4.
Coach Shane Beamer expressed disappointment with Stewart's conduct, resulting in a one-game suspension from the Gamecocks and the SEC. As of now, it remains uncertain whether Stewart will face additional penalties for his emotional reactions, which, while indicative of competitive spirit, have become a recurring concern.
