LSU football isn’t alone in their pursuit of 2022 five-star defensive end Shemar Stewart.

Nearly every top program in the nation is hoping to land Stewart.

That’s because Stewart is one of the premier 2022 recruits in the country.

Stewart, 6-foot-5/240 lbs from Opa Locka, FL (Monsignor Pace), is ranked in 247Sports’ composite rankings the No. 1 strongside defensive end in the country and the No. 5 overall player in the 2022 recruiting class.

Will Shemar Stewart commit to LSU football?

Alabama, Arizona State, Clemson, Florida, Georgia, Miami, Ohio State, Penn State, and Texas A&M are among the programs making a strong push for Stewart.
