Oregon Ducks' wide receiver Evan Stewart arrested on DUII charge
Ducks Wire +6 Oct 19
As of
The story here is a comeback, not a stat line. Stewart, a former five-star and a productive starter at Texas A&M and Oregon, tore his right patellar tendon before the 2025 season and missed all of it. He returned to full spring practice on day one and has framed 2026 in his own words as "do or die" — a contract-year bet on himself after a serious injury. The forward stakes are the simplest and hardest kind: does the explosive talent come all the way back? If it does, a healthy Stewart reshapes Oregon's receiver room overnight and re-enters the draft conversation. The talent was never in question; the knee is. 2026 is the answer.
So far in 2026 Stewart has 27 catches for 352 yards and four touchdowns. He has also lost two fumbles. Oregon lost 17-15 at home to UCLA on October 10.
Update (Oct. 28, 2026): Oregon lost 21-10 at Illinois as a 10.5-point favorite on Oct. 24 and is 4-3. Stewart's page shows 27 catches for 352 yards and four touchdowns in five games, with no new game line since the UCLA loss.

Play style
Stewart's game, when healthy, is built on speed and separation — the five-star traits that made him a productive Power Four starter before the injury. The honest framing for 2026 is that the projection rests on his recovery: he did not play in 2025, so there's no current-season tape to grade, only a serious knee injury and a full return to spring practice. The questions that matter are the burst, the change of direction, and the explosiveness off the line — everything a torn patellar tendon threatens. If the movement returns, so does a dangerous vertical weapon. Until the fall, this is a talent-and-comeback bet, framed honestly as one.
