Jonesboro (Ark.) linebacker/defensive end Jashaud Stewart put up one of the top five performances in the country when he participated in The Opening St. Louis Regional over the weekend.

Checking in at 6-1, 223 pounds, Stewart dropped a 4.61-second laser time in the 40-yard dash, he maneuvered the shuttle in 4.14 seconds and posted a 34.6-inch vertical leap. His 131.6 Opening rating is fifth nationally. He had the second-best performance out of any competitor at the event, with Lee's Summit (Mo.) North running back Keyon Mozee, 5-7, 172, putting up a mark of 137.1. None of the other players in the top 5 were taller than 5-10, nor were any of them over 200 pounds. Stewart was also the only defensive recruit in the top 13 in St. Louis, and only 19 competitors had a score of at least 100. No other defender scored over 101.31 aside from Stewart in St. Louis.

"I feel like I did well getting a 4.61 laser timed 40-yard dash and having a 4.12 shuttle time. I felt like that was impressive," Stewart said.

"He's a guy that had 24 tackles for loss, and it obviously shows up in a combine setting," Wiltfong said. "And I think what Jashaud Stewart showed in St. Louis over the weekend is that he's one of the more explosive edge guys in the country, and it's easy to see now why he had 24 tackles for loss on a team that made it all the way to the state championship game. He runs 4.6 on the laser at [223] pounds. He's got that burst. That's moving, so he's twitchy. With a [34.6-inch] vertical leap too, you see the explosiveness, the twitch, the get-off. That zero-to-10, zero-to-five, right when the ball is snapped, translates to the combine and really gives Arkansas a hell of an athlete to work with when they get their hands on him. Then you see the change-of-direction, the 4.14 [shuttle], and you feel like you have a guy that can play in space and do different things for you that can obviously accelerate and run."

"He's a unique body type for the position at the style he plays because he's not super long at least from a height standpoint, so you just wonder how much weight he's going to carry. But what he is is obviously athletic and explosive, and that led to production. Sometimes you see guys that are athletic but they don't produce," Wiltfong said.

As a junior last season, Stewart racked up 89 tackles, including 24 tackles for loss and six sacks. He also had a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and an interception for the Golden Hurricane. In January at the National Combine, Stewart checked in at 6-2, 209 pounds, so he was an inch shorter and 14 pounds heavier at in St. Louis. He also had a wingspan of 72.5 inches with 9.25-inch hands. In addition to Arkansas, Arkansas State, Houston, Kansas, Liberty, Memphis, SMU and Troy extended scholarship offers his way.
