Stewart is set to announce his decision on where he will be playing college football on July 13th.Stewart’s final schools include Michigan, Miami, Clemson, and Vanderbilt. Clemson is the current favorite to land Stewart on July 13th. Clemson was the first school that Stewart officially visited and has visited on prior occasions as well. Stewart will be entering his senior season at Woodward Academy in Atlanta, GeorgiaStewart took an official visit to Michigan last weekend for Victors Weekend. Stewart says that head coach Sherrone Moore and defensive backs coach LaMar Morgan made an impression on him.“They have been recruiting me pretty hard, they said I’m one of one and I can play all five spots in the secondary,” Stewart told Rivals. “They care about you off the field a lot. As soon as we stepped foot on campus, they got straight into it, and they didn’t wait.”The Wolverines are hoping to improve their defensive backfield with the addition of Stewart to their defensive back group. Four-star Brody Jennings is the lone defensive back commit so far for Michigan’s 2026 recruiting class. There is speculation that Jennings might leave the class, as he has also taken several official visits to football programs down south.Despite the possibility of Jennings decommitting and Stewart committing to Clemson, Michigan is still in good hands to land other recruits, including Andre Clarke, Donovan Webb, Dorian Barney, and Jordan Deck.
