One of LSU football‘s top 2022 recruiting targets is five-star defensive end Shemar Stewart.

Stewart, 6-foot-5/260 lbs from Opa Locka, FL (Monsignor Pace), is ranked in 247Sports’ composite rankings as the No. 1 strong-side defensive end in the country and the No. 1 player in Florida. He’s also rated as the No. 7 overall player in the 2022 recruiting class.

247Sports recruiting analyst Andrew Ivins says Stewart has “rare physical traits and elite testing numbers suggest that he could blossom into an all-conference type of player at a Power 5 program”.
