Jack Stewart Commits to Michigan
[Jack Stewart/via 247Sports]
As Sam hinted earlier today the Wolverines have added more help in the trenches, pulling 6’5”/280 2019 offensive lineman prospect Jack Stewart out of Don Brown country:

Stewart got his Michigan offer during the big recruiting weekend a few weeks ago. He had offers from BC, Texas A&M, Zona, and just recently picked up a TCU offer after visiting the two Texas schools last week. Notre Dame was also fishing around. He’s a three star to 247, an unranked 2-star to Rivals, and doesn’t exist on ESPN because Connecticut offensive lineman.
Hudl video exists:
More informative update cometh.
He has great speed and strength. Will have plenty of time to fill out his frame even more and refine the technicalities of the position. Solid get for Michigan
Steve Lorenz was talking him up on the 247 podcast, think there's definitely potential for him to pleasantly surprise.
In terms of this Stewart, he looks like a solid pick up on his film.
Edit: Damn, that didn't work. I was trying to input an image. Sorry everyone. I'm new here...
Congratulations on a wise, wise choice. Think he'll be good for us. Brown knows the area well and the school obviously is among the best in that state seeing it sent his fellow OL, Conley to BC and the QB opted for ND. That's solid for any school, real big for a public school in CT.
His h.s. coach says guard but he definitely has the frame and versatility to help out at T as well. A pretty solid get for the good guys.
More clay for Warriner to sculpt. They don't call him the Leonardo Da Vinci of the midwest for nothin'

Welcome to Michigan.
I always have a special place in my heart for OL who drive guys 30 feet out of bounds.... from the opposite side of the field.
Wonder if he still drives?
May the RBs use your draft to pass the goal-line.
1) From a small state football wise so as Seth said, recruiting scouts sometimes don’t get there.
2) OL can be hard to project, and
3) There are certainly some lower ranked kids that have turned OT quite well for us. IIRC for example Sean McKeown wasn’t a high rated kid and he’s one of our best TEs.
5) If Warriner was involved with wanting this guy, I’m all in.
6). When it comes to OL, until we know we have a solid OL, I’m always happy to see more bullets in the chamber. Throw them all into a pile & eventually 5 really great prospects are going to pan out for us.
Go Blue!

Again, don’t be too worried about stars because 2020’s OL class is looking real strong and we look to be leading for 3 top25 lineman as well.

It's assumed that we lead for Hinton because his brother is committed. He has said multiple times that he doesn't have a leader and that where his brother goes doesn't necessarily have an impact on him.
It's a long way until signing day and the older Hinton isn't a guarantee. He is a 5-star from the south, its going to be a battle until the end.

there are 10 four stars in the state of Michigan and three of the are OL but NONE are committed to Michigan.
I'm not star obsessed and don't mind taking a flyer/three star with high upside, especially on the OL where development is just about everything, so I like this pickup on the surface.
But you'd rather take those kind of guys from your own region if you can't get the high rated national guys because if you don't get them, teams you play will get them (as MSU and Wisconson are doing with guys in MI).
That's what's been such a head scratcher for me. How do we not have a state of MI commit yet?!
Based off his film and offers, seems like he should get a good bump in rankings, especially after this commitment
That is for sure! Looks to have plenty of upside-but most importantly he has the the will and commitment to play the game well. Looks like a 4**** to me...lots to like about him in the tape.

if he hits the road to the Opening and Rivals events, he will get those star ratings higher. He is also a top state wrestler - has really good hand strength and footwork. At the heavyweight division, he was 20-6 last year as a junior. This year local media is prediciting he will be the state's #1 heavyweight. He wrestles at 270 and played football at 285. Under Herbert, he will be a solid 310 interior lineman after a redshirt year plus two off-season conditioning cycles. Smart kid who will pick up the offense quickly and take well to Warinner's technique development.
Awesome news! Welcome Aboard!
I honestly thought the first picture of him on this post was Bredeson. Give this kid a redshirt to bulk up a little more, looks like a solid diamond in the rough type pick up.

with a mean-streak so big that he'll pancake one of his own receivers if they get in the way of a block (@ 2:14).
You can't teach that...

Welcome, Jack Stewart! Hell yeah!

Enough Oline and Dline men.
Good luck kid.

Great to have you here at Michigan. 6'5 and 280lbs as a Junior. This kid could turn into a true road-grater, pancaking those DTs!
a good stewart is a calling, or is that steward.....
either way
The Texas A&M offer is encouraging. Jim Turner has been pretty great at unearthing and developing elite college tackles (Luke Joeckel and Cedric Ogbuehi come to mind). He's also a BC guy with deep NE roots, so I imagine he's a little salty to see Stewart heading elsewhere.
Finish off this OL haul with Barnhart and land Dobbs or flip Brown and you have a great class imo.
Let's hope this guy is the Wisconsin or Iowa clone, a guy they develop into a lineman who can establish the run game, against OSU and MSU preferably.

You're really wondering why we're having a hard time pulling recruits from a program where they are consistently put in the NFL?
