Sidney Stewart's only season on record looks like a disruptor's: seven sacks and 10.5 tackles for loss to go with 32 tackles and two passes broken up for Maryland in 2025. No public board has ranked him yet, and Draftanomics's model slots him at No. 196 in the 2028 class off that single season, projecting a 61.8 percent probability he sticks as an NFL starter.
