USC defensive lineman Jahkeem Stewart named freshman All-American

Key Highlights

• He also had an interception against Iowa, a rare feat for a defensive lineman. Perhaps the most impressive part is that Stewart played the entire regular season with a stress fracture in his foot.
• He underwent surgery for it following the UCLA game, causing him to miss the Alamo Bowl against TCU. The Trojans are hoping that Stewart will be fully healthy in time for the start of next season.
• If so, he should be a big part of USC’s defensive plans in 2026—regardless of who the defensive coordinator winds up being. This article originally appeared on Trojans Wire: USC football DL Jahkeem Stewart named freshman All-American.
