Jahkeem Stewart’s commitment to USC has ignited a storm of speculation, as critics question whether his passion lies in the game or if he is merely pursuing financial gains. The saga surrounding this young talent’s recruitment has shifted the focus from football to the potential monetary rewards that might have influenced his choice. Fans are now left pondering: Is Stewart playing a strategic game for the future, or is he simply favoring the highest bidder? As this story unfolds, everyone watches him closely, eager to learn where his true allegiance lies.
For now, fans think that Jahkeem Stewart’s sudden inclination towards the USC Trojans is purely based on his $2M deal. This notion quickly started spreading after Jahkeem posted on Instagram about his commitment to the Trojans, saying, “All praise to the man above.” Well, for a long time, Jehkeem remained uncommitted, and there were speculations that he might go for his home team, LSU, or Oregon, but this came as a complete shocker for everyone.
But according to the news coming in, Jahkeem Stewart’s reason for his inclination towards the Trojans is not the NIL deal but his good relationship with USC’s defensive line coach Eric Henderson. However, that doesn’t seem to hold a proper case in front of the fans, as even in the LSU team they have Bo Davis, who is one of the remarkable defensive line coaches. What can you say? Choices are choices.
Fans outraging at Jahkeem Stewart’ decision
Well, losing out on a five-star recruit and top defensive back player, Jahkeem Stewart, at Louisiana is something that the Tigers will never be able to make peace with, and even after having a rough season, USC Trojans victory over them will always spark NIL deal controversy. Even fans can’t get over the fact that NIL can have this much impact on the recruitment process, as this fan says, “Get that bag & transfer to LSU next yr. 
” Looks like this fan is straightforwardly pointing out that money is the prime reason for Jahkeem’s switch.
But one thing that might pop into everyone’s head is that if USC Trojans are offering such a hefty amount to Jahkeem Stewart to make their defense strong, then why didn’t LSU offer him more than 2 million? Now, with the changing dynamics of the recruitment process, the focus is more on cash flow rather than gameplay. This fan reflects on the same emotion, saying, “By the way, he was getting offered 2 million to go to USC, and he was offered 1.2 million to go to LSU.”
However, there might be another fact that got missed in between all this money mess. There are speculations that playing for the Trojans, Jahkeem Stewart might make his entry on the field next year, and with LSU, this is not the case. But then fans will always talk about what’s visible to them as they say, “I was just pointing out that the overlying decision was money, and his agents didn’t think this over correctly.” Money over anything, it seems.
Not a single fan is ready to agree that there might be some other reason underlying Jahkeem Stewart’s decision, as they are just all over his post making big claims, calling him a gold digger. Even this fan feels the same as they say, “I guess money is more important to you than development.” What’s wrong with ensuring your financial security with money? Ultimately, isn’t that all that truly matters?
