Oct 19 (Field Level Media) – Oregon wide receiver Evan Stewart was ​arrested this weekend on ‌a charge of driving under the influence of intoxicants, according to ABC affiliate KATU of Portland, Ore.

According ‌to ​the report, Stewart ⁠was booked by ⁠police in Springfield, Ore., early Sunday morning and later released.

He leads the Ducks in receptions (27) ​and receiving yards (352) and is tied for the team ⁠lead with four ⁠touchdown catches.

The school had ​not commented on the matter as ​of Monday morning.

A senior from ‌Memphis, Tenn., Stewart did not play in Saturday’s 17-14 home win against Nebraska due to ⁠an undisclosed injury.

The Ducks (4-2, 2-1 Big Ten) return to action this Saturday ⁠on ‌the road against Illinois (3-3, ⁠1-2).

Stewart has 166 catches ​for ‌2,128 yards and 15 ​touchdowns in ⁠36 career games with Texas A&M (2022-23) and Oregon (2024, 2026). He missed the entire 2025 season with a torn patellar tendon.
