2026 Texas commit Chris Stewart talks LSU visit, next Austin trip
When 2026 Pearland (Texas) Shadow Creek four-star Chris Stewart committed to Texas earlier last summer, he knew where he wanted to be. But that didn’t change his desire to enjoy college football games in other stadiums along the way.
The 6-foot-0, 175-pound wide receiver took an unofficial visit to Baton Rouge for the Alabama-LSU game on Saturday. He added an offer from Brian Kelly and the LSU staff last week.
“Death Valley was rocking in the beginning,” Stewart told Inside Texas. “Place was wild.”
By the second half, Death Valley was more like a funeral after getting blown out by the Crimson Tide.
Stewart still hears from a number of programs, but his connection to Texas is solid and his bond with Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian and WR coach Chris Jackson is tight.
“Everything is good, just enjoyed the atmosphere and experience,” said Stewart. “Me and the family are supposed to be down there for the Kentucky game in two weeks. That’s the plan.”
