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.

Nic Anderson

Dean Kindig

The former Oklahoma touchdown leader transferred to Kentucky in January 2026. Ruled out for the remainder of the Bills-scouted SEC-opener during Oklahoma's opening drive vs Tennessee after being slammed to the ground on a 4th-and-2. In fact, OU's top five receivers have been out of the lineup most of the season. 2023: Nic was a semifinalist for the Shaun Alexander Freshman of the Year Award and received All-Big 12 Honorable Mention acclaim. Anderson played in all 13 games last year, and starting the last six. The redshirt sophomore amassed 798 yards and 10 touchdowns on 31 receptions, averaging an impressive 21.0 yards per catch. Additionally, Anderson set the school record for TD receptions by a freshman, with his total receiving yards, ranking second all-time among OU freshmen. Anderson ranked third in YPR among Power 5 WRs with a minimum of 30 targets --trailing only the Patriots' RD4#110 Javon Baker. Knee issue from a November 2025 game against Alabama that initially looked severe but was later reported as less serious, though he remained sidelined indefinitely; he's had other injuries (quad injury in 2024 and a car accident in mid-2025) impacting his availability.
