California offered 2023 consensus four-star Orlando Lake Highland Prep forward Sean Stewart on Wednesday.

Sean Stewart is the son of former Golden Bears big man Michael “Yogi” Stewart.

Sean Stewart’s mother also attended Cal.

Sean Stewart is a top player in the 2023 class

A 6-foot-8 wing, Sean Stewart is making waves for his ability to score points and his potential on the defensive end.

Stewart earned his first offer before his freshman year when South Florida offered him in September 2019. The offers have been rolling in fairly consistently since then.

Stewart has offers from top programs like Alabama, Florida, Kansas and Michigan. He also holds notable offers from Harvard and Howard, among other schools.

Michael “Yogi” Stewart had a memorable career in Berkeley

Michael Stewart — nicknamed Yogi because of his affection for Yogi bear as a kid — played for Cal from 1993-1997.

He played with two future lottery picks his freshman year in Jason Kidd and Lamond Murray on a Golden Bears team that was upset in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

Stewart started 18 of 30 games as a freshman and was a regular starter the rest of his career.

Never much of a scoring threat, Stewart was a defensive menace for the Golden Bears. He finished his career as the single-game, single-season and career blocked shots leader.

Stewart went undrafted but embarked on an eight-year NBA career with the Sacramento Kings, Toronto Raptors, Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics and Atlanta Hawks.

Sean Stewart is actually a third-generation basketball star. His grandfather, Mike Stewart, played at Santa Clara from 1970-1973.

A 6-foot-10 center, Mike Stewart was the 1972 West Coast Conference Player of the Year after averaging 21.2 points and 9.7 rebounds per game.

He was one of 28 players named to the training camp for Team USA before the 1972 Summer Olympics. He did not make the final cut.

Stewart returned for his senior season and averaged 18.7 points and 9.0 rebounds. His 18.5 career points per game average is No. 2 all-time in Santa Clara’s history.

He would go on to play professionally in Europe.
