At one point, Jahkeem Stewart was slated to be part of the 2026 class but after switching to 2025, is now the apple of several teams’ eye, including USC, Ohio State, LSU, and Oregon.
Stewart is a big, “enormous framed” defender, as Gabe Brooks of 247 Sports wrote. More impressively, he is still growing into his size, which should terrify opposing players and coaches.
Brooks continued, “Periodic segmentation in movement patterns reflects the growth still ongoing into the frame, but flashes serious straight-line juice for such a big body at this stage. Capable pass rusher from the interior and the edge, thanks in part to hand violence and point-of-attack power.”
For which team will Stewart physically overwhelm opponents with his size, speed, and ferocity, though?

LSU remains an option, and Ohio State has the final visit with Stewart slated for November 29-30, meaning either of those two schools could swoop in and sway his opinion. Whether they can undo the strong push USC made for the five-star lineman, though, is the question.
Especially with Rivals’ Sam Spiegelman also predicting that Stewart ends up in southern California.
Prediction: Stewart commits to USC, despite a strong push from Ohio State to wrap up his recruitment visits
