I was blown away by Delano’s TE/DE Jackson Stewart Jackson Stewart WR Delano | 2023 MN this summer while watching tape for the Preseason All-State series and thought he was a must-know scholarship recruit for programs always recruiting MN talent. At 6’5, 245 lbs. and holding a 3.66 GPA and 31 ACT, he brings a ton to the table as a prospective student-athlete, and although he came into the season without any reported interest or offers that all changed when NSIC powerhouse Minnesota State-Mankato offered a scholarship in the middle of October. That’s a big-time first offer for a Minnesotan, and in his senior film you can see why a DII perennial contender got in the mix. Big and powerful, Stewart possesses scary burst for a kid of his size when the ball is in his hands and he’s been lethal on TE screens in 2022. Stewart was also dominant as a blocker with great leg drive and some nasty finishing ability, and overall I like his body control and versatility as a TE and DE. With the size to contribute earlier at the college level, I’m keeping a close eye on Stewart and his recruitment during the rest of this school year. Delano had some big boys this season.

The Preseason All-State TE and very impressive 6’5, 235 lb. prospect is one of the more underrated seniors in MN as of right now. He’s looking like a beast through the midseason point of 2022, and looks smooth and athletic running routes as a pass catcher. He’s also a massive 1-on-1 tackling assignment, especially for DBs, and is a beast as a run blocker who can dominate and punish smaller opponents. He also doesn’t mind making catches through contact and can be a huge asset in the red zone. He’s a definite scholarship player with FCS potential. Get at this kid, man.
