Evan Stewart Returns for Senior Season at Oregon

Oregon Ducks wide receiver Evan Stewart has announced his return for the 2025 season, providing a significant boost to the team's offense following a strong debut year. The 6-foot, 175-pound player logged 48 receptions for 613 yards and five touchdowns, despite missing the Rose Bowl due to injury. Stewart's decision comes amidst several key departures, as teammates Tez Johnson and Traeshon Holden have declared for the NFL Draft, leaving Stewart as the Ducks' leading returning receiver. Oregon head coach Dan Lanning praised Stewart's impact, noting that he played a crucial role in the Ducks' 13-1 record and a top seed in the College Football Playoff. The Ducks also welcomed Malik Benson from the transfer portal, further supporting the receiving corps. Stewart's return is vital for maintaining continuity as Oregon prepares for the upcoming season with a new quarterback.
