A 5-9 basketball guard, centerfielder, and sprinter from College Station, Texas, Charlie Stewart was one of OBU's most versatile athletes.

In his three baseball seasons, he hit for a career average of .397, ranking twelfth in the baseball record book. His .487 batting average in 1965 ranks second in the record book. In his other two seasons, he hit .357 and .349. An all-conference selection in 1967, his OBU career was shortened by a year when he signed a professional contract with the St. Louis Cardinals.

In basketball, he was the starting point guard, averaging 7.7 points, on the 1966 NAIA national championship team. He was an all-tournament selection at the prestigious Quincy College Holiday Tournament. The three seasons he played, Bison basketball compiled a record of 67-24. The 1965 team was national runner-up.

When not playing baseball in 1964 and 1965, he ran track, participating in the 100 yard dash, long jump, and high jump. He ran a 9.7 100 and set a then school record 23-2.75 long jump.

Stewart played minor league baseball, served in the U.S. Army, returned to baseball and then began a career as a programmer/analyst for the Arkansas Department of Information Systems.

He lives in Little Rock.
