A converted defensive end who moved to outside linebacker at Temple and turned into one of the American Conference's top pass rushers before signing with Minnesota.
Cam'Ron Stewart signed with the Vikings as a free agent after a standout final season at Temple, where a position switch from defensive end to outside linebacker unlocked his best college production. At 6-foot-5 and 250 pounds, he gives Minnesota a long, athletic pass-rush option as he begins his rookie NFL season.
Path to the league
Stewart made the switch from defensive end to outside linebacker in training camp before his redshirt senior season at Temple in 2025. He signed with the Vikings as a free agent following the 2026 NFL Draft, agreeing to a three-year contract.
Career highlights
The position change paid off immediately for Stewart, who appeared in every game for Temple in 2025 and earned second-team All-American Conference honors. He tied for seventh in the American Conference in sacks that season, a career-best mark that boosted his NFL stock.
2025 season recap
In his redshirt senior season at Temple in 2025, Stewart recorded 4.0 sacks, including a career-high 3.0 tackles for loss and 2.0 sacks in a single game against Howard, on his way to second-team All-American Conference recognition. He signed with Minnesota that offseason as he transitions to the NFL for the first time.
