Recruiting Battle to Watch

For this week’s recruiting battle, we’re going to the trenches to look at a huge offensive tackle that has the interest of a handful of teams from the MAC. Ryan Stewart, a 6’5”, 240 lbs. product from Lincoln-Way East High School in Frankfort, Ill., boaststen offers, including ones from Eastern Michigan, Kent State, and NIU. A state champion in his junior year, Stewart is a force on the OL, as you can see on his Hudl film. Although he’s a little light for his position, he has great leg drive, is athletic enough to pull, has good hand placement, and is a good finisher in the run game. The only thing that would concern me about Stewart as a recruiter is pass protection since he’s not asked to do much of it, but he has all the tools physically to be a solid starter in college (after a year or two in the weight room).
