LSU Football in the mix for the top 2022 player in the nation

LSU football, along with nearly every other elite program in the nation, is hoping they can land 2022 five-star defensive end Shemar Stewart.

Stewart, 6-foot-5/236 lbs from Opa Locka, FL, is rated by 247Sports as the No. 1 overall player in the 2022 recruiting class.

The Florida native recently told 247Sports that LSU, along with Georgia, Miami, Florida and Penn State are near the top of his list at the moment. Stewart, however, added “I’m not really trying to lean towards one side this early. I want to make the right decision.”

Stewart, who also plays basketball at Monsignor Pace, told 247Sports that LSU makes him “feel loved and welcomed”.
