None of this precludes him from signing with LSU.

What if he doesn’t end up at IMG but another school in Louisiana?

LSU social media guys don’t seem to think anything is a done deal. Gonna be a LSU USC battle throughout the season. Bo Davis should be a difference maker here

ARTICLE FROM ESPN:
quote:

Five-star defensive end Jahkeem Stewart, ESPN's No. 1 overall prospect in the class of 2026, is no longer enrolled in New Orleans' St. Augustine High School, ESPN confirmed Friday afternoon, opening the door to a seismic in-season transfer and a potential reclassification into the 2025 class.

Stewart, the 6-foot-6, 275-pound high school junior, confirmed his departure from St. Augustine and told ESPN he plans to join a new program immediately, considering schools both in and out of Louisiana with hopes of enrolling as soon as Monday. The decision comes as Stewart is considering reclassifying into the 2025 class, presenting the possibility that he could complete his high school career this fall and land on a college campus as soon as January.

"St. Augustine helped me become a way better man than I was going in there -- it taught me a lot of things," Stewart said. "My plan is to find a school that I'm looking for to really just help with my decision -- a place that will better me and help make the decision I'm trying to make."

An elite defensive line prospect, Stewart held offers from a list of power conference programs even before his freshman season at St. Augustine, where he emerged as an overwhelming pass-rushing force from on the edge and the interior. Stewart finished with 85 total tackles (33 for loss) and 20 sacks in his junior season last fall and played in the program's season opener last Friday.

If Stewart decides to reclassify this fall, he will instantly become ESPN's top uncommitted prospect in the 2025 cycle. Stewart released his top 15 schools earlier this year in a list packed with SEC and Big 10 programs along with Miami, Florida State and Colorado.

Stewart's list of summer visits included trips to Ohio State, LSU, Oregon, Texas and Auburn, and he was in Las Vegas in Week 1 for the neutral site opener between USC and LSU. Stewart does not plan to take any campus visits in Week 2.

"We just want to chill this weekend, possibly find a school," he said. "I should be going to school somewhere Monday or Tuesday."

Bo Davis, LA native, excellent teacher, developer, solid recruiter vs Eric Henderson, New Orleans native, excellent teacher, developer, solid recruiter, Aaron Donald's boy and more importantly, best friends with Stewart's trainer/handler. Who do you think wins that one? 1 v 1?

A credible poster said it’s being driven heavily by a handler. That’s always a huge red flag.


There is usually a handler involved when a kid leaves a great school like st Aug to go to img.

The deal has already been agreed to. Things cab change but I doubt lsu gets him

Or an agent. Hardly any of the rated recruits pay tuition at IMG themselves.

Is there a way for LSU and/or the state legislature to put pressure on or require Louisiana high schools to allow reclassification?

I don’t care what anyone says, this is a recruit LSU can’t lose just because of some stupid rule a HS has preventing reclassification, or even early enrollment.

I had this kid in middle school and he was reading on a kindergarten level. He didn't do any work and his mom expected everyone to just pass him bc he was a good football player. Needless to say he transferred out bc we weren't "helping" him. I never heard him say anything more than a mumble... I find it hard to believe that he's actually saying this stuff in interviews and making these social media posts - someone has gotta be doing it for him
