Jahkeem Stewart doesn't shy away from his nickname one bit. In fact, Stewart embraces being called "Thanos." And just like the Avenger's archenemy, Stewart destroys everything in front of him. “If you get in front of me, you’re going to get dominated,” Stewart told WVUE. His coach Nick Foster agrees. “I mean just going against opponents, to see that kid step off the bus at 6-6 290, that’s intimidating,” Foster said. “But also, when the athleticism and the play match up with the eye test, it all goes together. It just creates a terror.”

Like Darius Robinson, Jahkeem Stewart is a big, long defensive lineman with power and athleticism. Both were significantly younger for their recruiting cycles and entered college in need of continued on-field experience and high developmental upsides.
