COLUMBUS, Ohio — Five-star defensive lineman Jahkeem Stewart has reclassified to the 2025 class. It was made official on Saturday in the late morning.
Stewart was the No. 3 overall prospect and No. 1 defensive lineman, per the 247Sports composite, in the 2026 class. There will likely be a change in his rankings as he changes classes, but it’s not likely to be significant considering how talented he is.
Now, he’ll be on campus at a school next season. This had been in the works for weeks, as he transferred high schools recently to get his academics straight so he could leave school early.
Ohio State has six defensive linemen pledged in the 2025 class already, but for a player of Stewart’s caliber, there’s always room.
Ohio State, LSU, Oregon and USC are amongst the teams competing for him. He’s tentatively set to attend the Ohio State-Michigan game in November.
