Jahkeem Stewart took full advantage of his opportunity to learn from Ohio State defensive line coach Larry Johnson on Thursday.
Ranked as the No. 1 overall prospect in the 2026 recruiting class by three of the four major recruiting media outlets, Stewart certainly didn’t need to prove himself at Thursday’s camp. Yet Stewart went through every drill with the rest of the defensive linemen – often taking extra reps at the behest of Johnson – because he wanted to learn from one of college football’s top defensive line coaches.
While Stewart lived up to his billing as the top prospect on the field – even in a talented group of defensive line recruits, the 6-foot-6, 270-pound junior had the look of a man among boys – it wasn’t a perfect day for the five-star defensive tackle, as Johnson asked him to repeat several drills over the course of the camp.
