Stewart, a five-star recruit from Louisiana, made a generous gesture when he presented a \$10,000 check to his high school, Edna Karr, during their graduation ceremony. The donation was directed toward a recovery center for student-athletes, showcasing Stewart’s commitment to giving back to his community.
Rivals ranks Stewart as the No. 2 defensive end in the nation, No. 2 in Louisiana, and No. 22 overall in the country. Despite receiving offers from some of the nation’s top football programs, including Ohio State, Alabama, Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Penn State, Stewart chose to play for USC. His decision strengthens USC’s 2025 recruiting class, which ranks No. 4 in the Big Ten and No. 15 nationally, with 24 commitments.
Stewart’s generosity doesn’t end with this latest donation. Earlier this year, he made headlines when it was revealed that he bought his mother a brand-new Jeep, further cementing his reputation for thoughtful acts. As he heads to USC, Stewart’s story serves as a reminder that NIL benefits are not only changing the way athletes are compensated, but also how they choose to give back to their communities.
