Ohio State Safety Commit DeShawn Stewart Gets Valuable Instruction, Builds Bonds With Future Classmates on Official Visit
Despite his status as an Ohio State commit, there was plenty for DeShawn Stewart to learn from his official visit to Columbus this past weekend.
Whether it was deeper conversations with the coaching staff, developing rapport with future teammates or figuring out tricks to improve his game while he’s still in high school, the four-star safety prospect enjoyed and gained knowledge from the trip.
“They created me a little logo. I approved of it, I liked it,” Stewart told Eleven Warriors. “There’s some changes that are going to be made to it. Getting to that, getting around the coaches more, spending time, getting to the playbook. Seeing how we’re feeling in the defense, like what spots will be open after this year, who’s leaving, who’s staying. Getting around the players, seeing life outside of football, how they act, personalities and all that. It was all cool throughout the weekend.”

Stewart put up strong numbers last season for DePaul Catholic in Wayne, New Jersey, which is also home to Ohio State four-star wide receiver commit De’zie Jones. He racked up 56 tackles and 19 pass deflections out of the defensive backfield in 2023.
Ranked 295th overall and 26th at safety for the 2025 class in the 247Sports composite, Stewart is still searching for ways to hone his craft, however. He got some one-on-one time with his future safeties coach Matt Guerrieri on that topic in particular.
“It was great,” Stewart said. “We went over film, like my film and Ohio State’s film, and compared it to each other and showed what I would be doing in drills and stuff, showing how it translates to the field. He taught me a lot throughout the process.”
Guerrieri’s advice about tackling stuck with Stewart in particular. That’s something he’ll need to dive into deeper as he transitions positions at the next level.
“He showed me the way they tackle up there compared to the high school level, different teachings, alignments with the safeties and stuff because I play corner in high school,” Stewart said. “So it was different looking at it from a corner standpoint, (how) safeties line up and how they play with their eyes, so I’ll definitely transfer that over (to my game).”
Stewart also got a chance to sit down with defensive coordinator Jim Knowles, who encouraged him to enroll early and get a head start on his development process.
Cornerback Davison Igbinosun played host to Stewart on the visit and the former Ole Miss rebel didn’t sugarcoat the level of competition Stewart will walk into at Ohio State. With Brian Hartline’s continued churning of elite talent at wide receiver, there will be no shortage of iron-sharpening competition.
“(Igbinosun) told me nothing is given, everything is earned here, that you’ve got to come in with that mentality and live with that edge on your shoulder, because you’re going to go against the best of the best every day,” Stewart said. “He also told me how Coach (Tim Walton) is like, the realest in the game, he’s going to tell you straight up.”

While connecting with current players like Igbinosun, Stewart also bonded with some 2025 classmates. Fellow Buckeye commit and linebacker Tarvos Alford was also on campus for an official visit.
“It was great, man. We had some nice laughs,” Stewart said. “We went out, we ate, had dinner, and the vibe was good. No weirdness going on. We already knew each other, so I look forward to spending more time with them when I get up there.”
While there Stewart and Alford got a chance to get in some peer recruiting of two top 100 defensive prospects in edge Justin Hill and linebacker Riley Pettijohn.
“I spent a lot of time with Justin, so while being around him, I tried to throw little hints out there, a couple little jokes to get him to try to commit,” Stewart said. “I think he’s taking his time right now but he knows what it is.”
Stewart said he plans to take no other visits this summer, a sign that he remains fully locked in with OSU. He plans on returning to Columbus for The Game on Nov. 30.
He’s bought into what he and his classmates can achieve, a group that stands less than eight points behind Notre Dame for the No. 1 class in the composite team rankings despite having eight fewer commits.
“This class will definitely be capable of a national championship, for sure,” Stewart said. “Add in everybody you had in the previous class, the ‘24 class, it will definitely be one of the top classes to ever come to Ohio State, which I believe and all the coaches believe.”
The work that educators do every day in teaching and furthering research and innovation is the foundation of The Ohio State University’s land-grant mission, President Ravi V. Bellamkonda said at the university’s annual Faculty Awards Celebration. The event was held May 6 at Vitria on the Square on Ohio State’s Columbus campus.
“The question is, what should we be doing together and what’s the goal for us as we move forward? I’d like to suggest that I would like for all of us to give ourselves the gift of reasonably high expectations of what we can achieve together, and you exemplify this,” Bellamkonda told the honorees.
“I’m optimistic about our future because of what you do in the classroom and the scholarship and the mentoring and the teaching and the community that you have created.”
The celebration shines a light on faculty’s contributions to Ohio State and the citizens that the university serves, Interim Provost Trevor Brown said.
“I want to acknowledge how special all of our faculty are in the work that they do in generating knowledge and sharing that with students and the broader community,” he said. “That is important and essential work.

Besner, College of Medicine; Shan-Lu Liu, College of Veterinary Medicine; Alan Luo, College of Engineering; Giorgio Rizzoni, College of Engineering; Brent Sohngen, College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CFAES); and Claudia Turro, College of Arts and Sciences.
“The title of distinguished university professor is a permanent honorific that includes automatic membership in the president’s and provost’s advisory committee,” said Patrick Louchouarn, senior vice provost for leadership and external engagement.

North Central Ohio Industrial Museum
North Central Ohio Industrial Museum houses hundreds of products made in north central Ohio — including appliances, tires, pumps and much more.
MANSFIELD ― If you’re interested in manufacturing, you can come and see hundreds of products made in North Central Ohio — including appliances, tires, pumps, Klondike bars, cigars and pieces made for streetcars.
The North Central Ohio Industrial Museum inside the lower east diagonal wing of the historic Ohio State Reformatory showcases the history of manufacturing in Mansfield and surrounding areas.
Location
The Ohio State Reformatory, 100 Reformatory Road, Mansfield.
Why it matters
The museum traces the history of manufacturing in North Central Ohio since the first steam locomotive came through town in 1846. Exhibits highlight the accomplishments of local residents and industry in peace and war, according to NCOIM President Jerry Miller.
What to see
The NCOIM has several themed sections of exhibits, beginning with “Every town had a mill,” then the Cast Iron Age, City of Stoves, Wires & Electric Exhibits, Cigar & Beer, Wheels, AG Industry and Mickey Rupp, which then begins an exhibit on what is currently manufactured in Richland County.
Miller said the late Bob Glasener started the museum and was responsible for saving many local industrial artifacts over the years. Miller said Glasener’s daughter has in her possession the 1939 World’s Fair Westinghouse (gold-plated) roaster, which she donated to the museum.
The museum is full of surprising finds.
Elektro the Westinghouse robot should be on display this summer at the North Central Ohio Industrial Museum after being restored.
A manhole and stormwater grate from 1935 made by the Tappan Stove Co. are among the treasures Miller helped to preserve. He also has the Tappan marquee and a Westinghouse marquee.
Plan your visit
Hours/admission: The museum will be open the same hours as OSR and will be free to tour with the purchase of a ticket to the prison-turned-museum.
Getting there: OSR is on the north side of Mansfield, just off U.S. 30.

WARREN, Ohio (WKBN) — A Warren man who led police on a chase received his sentence on Wednesday.
Michael Greene, 32, was sentenced to three years of probation and ordered to make restitution.
Greene pleaded guilty in February to failure to comply with the order or signal of a police officer and failure to stop after an accident.
Greene was charged following a November 2025 police chase in Niles.
Prosecutors say that the chase involved speeds of about 103 miles per hour.
It was discovered that the car Greene was driving was reported stolen by a family member.
