Draft Profile: Bio
Evan Stewart established himself as a five-star recruit and Under Armour All-American at Liberty High School in Texas, where he also won the Texas 5A long jump title, before signing with Texas A&M in 2022.He earned SEC All-Freshman honors with the Aggies, catching 53 passes for 649 yards, then added 38 receptions for 514 yards and four scores as a sophomore before transferring to Oregon. In his lone healthy Ducks season in 2024 he caught 48 passes for 613 yards and five touchdowns, flashing the speed and separation that once made him a projected early-round pick.
Stewart bypassed the draft to return to Oregon for 2025, but a significant knee injury, reported as a torn patellar tendon, cost him the entire season before it began. The lost year clouds his outlook, leaving an evaluation built on his pre-injury tape and a recovery that will define his professional timeline.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Explosive separator with rare timed speed when fully healthy
- Proven SEC and Big Ten producer, 613 yards for Oregon in 2024
- Sudden releases and route quickness that once drew early-round grades
- Former five-star with a track background and long-jump title
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Lost all of 2025 to a significant knee injury
- Torn patellar tendon raises real long-term durability questions
- Slight 170-pound frame invites contact and durability concerns
- Never posted a dominant statistical season across three schools
- Recovery timeline clouds his readiness and early NFL role
Scouting Report: Summary
Evan Stewart is a talent evaluation frozen by injury. A former five-star with rare speed, he was a productive contributor at Texas A&M and Oregon, catching 48 passes for 613 yards and five scores in his lone healthy Ducks season, and he was once projected as an early-round pick on the strength of his separation and route quickness. The tape, when he was on the field, showed a genuine weapon.The problem is that he was not on the field in 2025. A torn patellar tendon cost him the entire season, a serious injury that raises real long-term durability questions, and his slight 170-pound frame adds to the wear concerns. He also never posted a dominant statistical season across three schools, so even the healthy tape is more flashes than sustained production.
He fits a vertical spread that can ease him back and let his speed work once he is right. Overall, the pre-injury traits are a starter's, but the lost year and the nature of the injury make Stewart a medical-dependent flyer whose draft case hinges entirely on how his knee checks out and whether the burst returns. If the joint comes all the way back, the pre-injury tape says there is a rotational contributor and more in there; if it does not, the downside is obvious.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank
in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance.
For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.
*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
