Dylan Stewart is already a blue-chip SEC disruptor — and South Carolina’s tone-setter off the edge
In the 2025 season, Dylan Stewart built on a huge freshman debut and entered 2026 as a preseason First-Team All-American, with 56 career tackles, 22.5 tackles for loss, 11 sacks and six forced fumbles across 24 games. He stands out for rare first-step burst, bend, violent hands and true splash-play juice, which is why NFL outlets already circle him as a top-10 2027 draft talent. The caution flag: he has been managing a back injury that sidelined him in spring and likely the 2026 opener, so the fit is elite when healthy, but availability is the key question.
