Ohio State safety Deshawn Stewart brings rangy, versatile secondary upside
Stewart is a 2025 Ohio State safety who entered as a highly regarded four-star recruit and was valued for his versatility, speed, and awareness; scouting reports say he can play safety, nickel, or even corner, which makes him a flexible fit for modern defenses. In his high school career at DePaul Catholic, he posted impact production including 56 tackles and 19 pass deflections as a junior, and he was praised for relationships with Ohio State’s staff and a strong competitive edge. He did not appear in a game in 2025, so the biggest question is when that talent turns into on-field snaps.
