Stewart originally committed to Maryland, but reopened his recruitment Wednesday. Stewart then officially visited Syracuse Friday and committed Saturday night, according to 247Sports.

In his junior season as a left guard for St. Joseph’s Prep in Philadelphia, Stewart’s size and quickness overpowered opponents, showing that he can make an impact with the Orange’s interior offensive line.

St. Joseph’s Prep won the 2023 Pennsylvania State Championship with a 13-1 record. Its only loss came to IMG Academy in the first week of the season, falling 17-14.

Stewart joins 23 others in Fran Brown’s 16th-ranked 2025 class, according to 247Sports. The Philadelphia native adds depth to the interior offensive line, joining three-star Matthew Hawn. 247Sports’ composite rankings rate Stewart as the 23rd-best player in Pennsylvania and the 77th-best interior offensive lineman in the country.
