Evan Stewart

Dean Kindig

Leveraging his redshirt from the 2025 season (which he missed due to injury) to play a redshirt senior year. Injury sent shockwaves, but didn't prevent 2 scouts from coming to the Oregon State game. Stewart is slight for an 'X' receiver, and not a true breakaway threat, but quick and shifty? You betcha. Last season, Evan Stewart emerged as a pivotal player for the Ducks, amassing over 600 receiving yards and five touchdowns. His ability to stretch the field made him the team's most dependable deep threat when healthy. Two years at Texas A&M with middling 2023 stats (38 catches, 514 yards, and four TDs over 8 games) and a 59% career catch rate --not great for a slot, but better for a deep threat. The junior made only 3 catches for 15 yards in his Ducks debut, but Stewart had an encouraging 5-112-22.4-1TD outing against Boise State, catching a 67-yarder. In the scouted game vs Michigan, Stewart caught 2 passes for 20 yards and a TD, but was overshadowed by teammate Tez Johnson (10 for 84 and a TD, Bucs' RD7). Same against Illinois, also scouted: Stewart caught 1 pass for 19, but Tez caught 6 for 102 and a TD. He'll need to be a better blocker. Known for his track speed and short-area quickness, Stewart regularly creates separation at the top of his routes and is quick in and out of breaks.
