As a College Recruit
Physically-gifted defensive lineman with a high-end combination of twitch and technical ability at an early stage. Has a naturally big frame, measuring in at 6-foot-6, 280 pounds prior to his sophomore season. Has plus length for the position with arms that measure over 34 inches along with 10.75-inch hands. Put his name on the national radar with a number of impressive camp performances as a high school underclassman. Unique scenario and evaluation in that he only played one season of high school football - his true sophomore season in 2023 - due to being ineligible through multiple transfers and then reclassifying to the 2025 cycle. Has an immense amount of ambiguity around his evaluation due to the extreme lack of on-field experience. With that said, looked dominant in his lone year of high school football, totaling 33 tackles for loss and 20 sacks. Looked highly dangerous as an interior pass rusher. Flashes advanced technique despite his lack of experience. Uses quick hands to easily disengage. Has a nasty straight arm that he uses to walk offensive linemen back to the quarterback. Capable of playing as a big edge setter. A straight-line athlete. Displays some stiffness in his lower body and will have to improve his flexibility and lateral agility. One of the biggest unknowns in the cycle due to his unique circumstances. If he is able to get on the field and develop, has a chance to tap into the high ceiling.
Reminds Us Of
Like Darius Robinson, Jahkeem Stewart is a big, long defensive lineman with power and athleticism. Both were significantly younger for their recruiting cycles and entered college in need of continued on-field experience and high developmental upsides.
