When it comes to recruiting in 2022, the defensive line will be very important for the Buckeyes. At this time, the state of Ohio does not have a defensive end among the nine current commitments, but tonight class no. Shemar Stewart from Opa Locka (Fla.) Monsignor Pace, included the state of Ohio in its first ten elections.
Stewart posted his Top 10 on his Twitter account. Its top 10 consists of Ohio State, Florida, Miami, Georgia, Clemson, LSU, Alabama, Texas A&M, Penn State and Arizona State. Of course, he has scholarship offers from all ten schools.
Stewart, 6 feet, 5 and 236 pounds, has an excellent combination of skill and athletic size, and everything else is needed to be excellent at the next level, as Barton Simmons, Director of 247Sports Scout, wrote:
“Long, weak, muscular defensive line man, without bad weight, an imposing frame, long arms and a thick lower half. The body type has the potential to continue to multiply like a jumbo edge fly or even hit in the long run, given the early stage of its development. It plays to its size on film. Brutish rusher pass that has an effective long arm, can go with offensive attacks back to the defender and can win with speed. He has an extreme combination of athletics. Controls and removes blocks effectively against running. It has a declining speed in pursuit. Very limited nuance or finesse in its step. It has some rigidity in space. He’s playing too high right now, but he can get rid of him. Impact Power Five starter, with the potential to be a first round NFL Draft and a candidate to be the future no.
Stewart is a 5-star prospect in 247Sports Composite. He is the general class no. 5 of the country in the perspective of 2022, defensive end no. 1 and perspective no. 1 in Florida.
