Evan Stewart‘s signature came to Texas A&M a day later than expected, but the country’s No. 1 wide receiver is officially an Aggie.

Stewart, a Five-Star Plus+ prospect and the No. 4 overall recruit in the 2022 class, put pen to paper this evening and sent his National Letter of Intent to Texas A&M. The Aggies’ Twitter account announced it soon after.

The 6-foot, 170-pounder committed to the Aggies late last month over offers from Texas, Florida, Alabama and others. He was previously committed to the Longhorns last winter, but opted to reopen his recruitment. The Aggies, who weren’t thought to be a serious contender, kept picking up steam throughout the fall and eventually secured him.

As a senior, Evan Stewart played in only three games for Frisco (Texas) Liberty High before opting out to focus and training and academics for the next level. He is one of the crown jewels of Texas A&M’s recruiting class, which currently ranks No. 1 in the On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings. The Aggies have already amassed five five-star prospects and are serious contenders to land four more: Harold Perkins, Shemar Stewart, Denver Harris, and Jacoby Mathews.

Evan Stewart Scouting Summary

“One of the more dynamic and well-rounded wide receiver prospects in several cycles. An elite athlete with outstanding marks in multiple events in track and field. Transfers that athleticism over to the gridiron, where he is the top big-play threat in the 2022 cycle. Has palpable gravity as a deep threat. Eats up the corner’s cushion with his burst off the line and puts defensive backs out of phase consistently on vertical routes. Draws substantial attention from opposing defenses and beats double coverage at a high rate. Has shown plus ball skills in game and camp settings with the ability to come down with acrobatic high-point catches. Improved his route-running between his junior and senior seasons and is now among the more technically-refined receivers in the cycle. Will need to continue adding mass and strength to combat physical corners off the line of scrimmage. Opted out of his senior season after playing in four games.” — Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings
