Louisiana 5-star 2026 defensive lineman Jahkeem Stewart spotted wearing Ohio State gloves

Does this mean anything for the Buckeyes?

Playing the apparel game is part of recruiting, and once again Ohio State football watching it play out with a 5-star recruit.

Louisiana 2026 defensive lineman [autotag]Jahkeem Stewart[/autotag], who stands 6-foot, 6-inches and weighs 270-pounds is the best lineman and the nations No. 3 overall prospect according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

This weekend Stewart participated in a Rival Camp event, and he was seen wearing Ohio State gloves while dominating the competition. Although it should be viewed as a good sign that he was wearing Buckeyes gear, it’s really hard to read how important this is. We’ve seen it both ways, with recruits wearing and not wearing OSU apparel.

He currently holds no crystal ball picks, so it’s anyone’s guess as to where Stewart ultimately lands.

LSU receives RPM prediction for the No. 1 recruit in the 2026 class

The No. 1 player in the 2026 recruiting class has recently received a projection to commit to LSU.

The No. 1 player in the 2026 recruiting class has recently received a projection via the On3 Ratings Prediction Machine to commit to LSU. Billy Embody has projected [autotag]Jahkeem Stewart[/autotag] to commit to LSU at a confidence level of 75%.

Stewart is a 6-foot-6, 270-pound, four-star defensive lineman from New Orleans where he plays for St. Augustine High School. The St. Augustine Purple Knights finished the 2023 season with a 4-8 record and a loss to John Curtis Christian in the second round of the playoffs.

Stewart finished the season with 85 tackles, 20 sacks, 33 tackles for loss, and six forced fumbles. His nickname is “Thanos.” He hasn’t received any Crystal Ball projections on 247Sports but LSU is a 93% favorite to land him per On3.

LSU’s [autotag]2026 recruiting class[/autotag] currently does not have any commitments. The kids in that class are going into their Junior season next fall so they have a little bit of time to figure out where they want to go.

LSU makes top 15 for 2026 defensive lineman

Alabama is a 39% favorite to land Jahkeem Stewart per On3.

The No. 1 recruit in the 2026 recruiting class has narrowed his list of potential schools down to 15 schools. [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] and the LSU Tigers have made the final cut. Another team in the SEC is the current favorite to land him, though.

[autotag]Jahkeem Stewart[/autotag] is a 6-foot-6, 280-pound, five-star defensive lineman who is rated as the No. 1 player in the 2026 recruiting class. He is from New Orleans where he plays for St. Augustine High School. The St. Augustine Purple Knights finished the 2023 season 4-6 with a loss to John Curtis Christian in the second round of the Divison I select playoffs.

There are no crystal ball projections for Stewart at this time but the Alabama Crimson Tide is a 39% favorite to land him per On3. That may have changed now that Alabama has made the transition from Nick Saban to Kalen DeBoer as their head coach. Kelly did an incredible job recruiting the boot for the 2024 recruiting class, let’s see if he can keep it up.

Nation’s No. 1 recruit includes Georgia in top 15 schools

Nation’s No. 1 recruit includes Georgia in top schools

Georgia is in the running for the No. 1 overall recruit in the 2026 class, defensive lineman Jahkeem Stewart. The five-star recruit included the Bulldogs among his top 15 programs on Tuesday.

Out of St. Augustine High School (New Orleans), Stewart is rated as the No. 1 overall player and the No. 1 defensive lineman, per 247Sports composite. Although he’s only a sophomore in high school, Stewart already holds 26 offers.

The 6-foot-6, 270-pound athlete will choose among Georgia, LSU, Alabama, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Auburn, Texas, USC, Ohio State, Penn State, Oregon, Michigan, Colorado, Miami and Florida State.

247Sports recruiting analyst Gabe Brooks had this to say when evaluating Stewart’s potential:

Elite young defensive line prospect given outstanding physical tools and promising movement ability. Possesses exceptionally high long-term developmental ceiling.

Stewart visited Georgia twice last year, including an unofficial visit in April. He later participated in UGA’s camp in June. It’s still very early in Stewart’s recruitment, so we can expect Stewart to begin to narrow down his choices as we move closer to the 2026 cycle.
