Direct quote from Las Vegas Sun (Ray Brewer, Aug 31 2013):
"Daniel Stewart returned the opening kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown against visiting Servite of California, setting the tone for a 41-17 victory… 'I didn't know where the ball went. As soon as I picked it up, I saw an open lane and took it,' said Stewart."

Randall Cunningham Sr. baptized DAJAI. Pastor + NFL Pro Bowl QB. That's where the tie starts. Then his son — Randall Cunningham II, who also features on DAJAI's tracks as "Young Wade" — was DAJAI's QB at Bishop Gorman. Christian Cunningham (RIP) is his late brother. Sister Vashti Cunningham is the Olympic high jumper — she directed the music videos for Backie and Big Shit.
From the same LVS article covering DAJAI's 96-yd return:
"…with seconds left in the second quarter, Randall Cunningham II heaved a Hail Mary pass toward the endzone. The underthrown ball was tipped by two Servite defenders, then caught by Jones who easily walked into the endzone."
Same game, same team, same quarterback. Bishop Gorman's 41-17 win over Servite — DAJAI ran the kickoff back for the first score, Cunningham II threw the Hail Mary before halftime. Documented in the same piece of legacy press. That's how you verify a long-standing friendship — not from studio photos, but from high-school box scores.
