Five-star defensive end Jahkeem Stewart, the No. 11 prospect in the 2025 ESPN 300, committed to USC on Wednesday afternoon, announcing his decision live on "College Football Live" from a ceremony at New Orleans' Edna Karr High School.
Once the No. 1 prospect in the 2026 class, Stewart reclassified into the 2025 cycle in October and visited Oregon, Ohio State, LSU and USC in the final weeks before the early signing period before handing his commitment to the Trojans on Wednesday, landing as the top-ranked member of Lincoln Riley's 2025 class.
A 6-foot-6, 290-pound pass rusher capable of playing across the defensive line, Stewart entered Wednesday as the nation's second-ranked uncommitted prospect.
