Dan Lanning continues to show what makes his teams competitive year in and year out. The Ducks will once again return one of its top play-makers for another season with the Ducks.

Wide receiver Evan Stewart announced moments ago he will return to Oregon instead of entering the NFL draft. This is one of the two biggest returns Oregon fans could reasonably expect.

This season Stewart recorded 48 catches for 613 yards and 5 touchdowns. Stewart had some massive games for the Ducks including a 149 yard, 1 touchdown performance against Ohio State in October.

His collegiate totals including his time at Texas A&M include 1,776 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Coming out of high school, Stewart was highly regarded as one of the top players in the 2022 class. He was the No. 8 ranked overall player and No. 2 ranked wide receiver nationally.

Stewart immediately expects to compete for Oregon’s WR1 role next season with Tez Johnson declaring for the NFL draft.
