USC defensive tackle Jahkeem Stewart named FWAA Freshman All-American
USC Trojans freshman defensive tackle Jahkeem Stewart was named a Freshman All-American by the Football Writers Association of America on Wednesday.
The 6-foot-5, 290-pound freshman from Louisiana was a standout in his first season in cardinal and gold. Stewart finished with 18 tackles, including 7.5 for loss and 1.5 sacks. He also had an interception and a fumble recovery.
Stewart played on a bit of a snap count limitation all season as he dealt with a stress fracture in his foot that kept him out of the season-opener against Missouri State and nagged him the entire year. Stewart elected to hold off the necessary surgery until after the final regular-season game. Stewart’s 232 defensive snaps ranked No. 16 among USC defensive players.

Stewart is USC’s third FWAA Freshman All-American in the past three years, but the first on the defensive side of the ball since safety Calen Bullock was named as part of the 2021 class. He’s the first USC defensive lineman to earn the honor since Leonard Williams in 2012.
