Silas Stewman brings size, local pedigree, and developmental upside to Eastern Washington's defensive front
In the 2026 season, Silas Stewman arrives at Eastern Washington as a 6-foot-4, 280-pound defensive lineman from Ellensburg HS, where he posted 17 total tackles and 12 solo tackles as a senior; the Eagles signed him to add depth up front.[1][3][7] His best differentiators are straightforward: length, power, and in-state toughness, plus the kind of frame that can be molded into a disruptive interior presence if his motor and technique keep climbing. He looks like a fit for a team that values developmental linemen with size and room to grow rather than an instant-stat-sheet star.[1][3]
