Dylan Stewart, widely projected as a top-10 pick in the 2027 NFL Draft and a standout edge rusher for the South Carolina Gamecocks, has been handed an indefinite suspension following a volatile incident during the team’s 49-14 loss to Alabama. Stewart was ejected from the game after punching Alabama tight end Josh Ford’s helmet and subsequently engaged in heated arguments with coaches on the sideline. Head coach Shane Beamer confirmed the suspension Sunday, stating, “It’s beyond the punch. The punch is unacceptable… Accountability is a core value in this program and we are all accountable to the standard, so we’ll see what that looks like here going forward.” This disciplinary action casts a shadow over Stewart’s promising collegiate career, which saw him earn second-team All-SEC honors last year with 4.5 sacks and 33 tackles in 2025, following a freshman campaign where he recorded 6.5 sacks. His return to the field this season remains uncertain as the Gamecocks, now 2-2, prepare to face Kentucky.
