Five-Star Plus+ WR Evan Stewart set to visit Alabama

Frisco (Texas) Liberty Five-Star Plus+ receiver Evan Stewart might be leaning toward Texas A&M, but that’s not stopping him from taking other official visits.

Stewart is taking an official visit this weekend to Alabama, according to On3 National Analyst Gerry Hamilton. Also visiting the Capstone this weekend is four-star junior quarterback Nico Iamaleava of Downey (Calif.) Warren.

Stewart is ranked as the No. 3 player in the country, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also ranks as the No. 1 receiver in the country and the top overall player in the Lone Star State.

On3 ranks Stewart as the fourth-best player in the country and also has him as No. 1 in Texas and at the receiver position.

Evan Stewart announced after three games he was opting out of the rest of his senior season at Frisco Liberty. Stewart is one of the biggest names in recent memory to sit out for all or parts of his senior season. He joins five-star 2022 quarterback recruit, Quinn Ewers, in doing so. 

Texas A&M trending with Evan Stewart

Even though he’s visiting Alabama this weekend, most intel has Evan Stewart as a “strong lean toward Texas A&M.”

On3 Director of Recruiting Chad Simmons reported on Wednesday the Aggies are clearly the team to beat.

“Evan Stewart’s recruitment has been full of twists and turns,” Simmons wrote. “And now, a few weeks into November, the Aggies have pulled ahead. Stewart has more questions about Texas than he does about Texas A&M. He wants to win, and Stewart has concerns about how long it will take Steve Sarkisian to get things going in Austin.”

Now that Alabama is getting the official visit, it’ll be interesting to see if the Crimson Tide becomes a factor. Stewart took an unofficial visit to Alabama in the summer. It’ll be his first trip back to campus in months.
