Inside Texas had Stewart penciled in for an unofficial visit early this week, but confirmation that the dynamic receiver will be on campus amplifies the recruiting hype heading into tomorrow’s game.
Stewart’s confirmation adds to a monster recruiting weekend that includes five-star tight end Jaleel Skinner, Quency Wiggins, Jacoby Mathews, Earnest Greene, Johntay Cook, and No. 1 junior and five-star quarterback Arch Manning.
Steve Sarkisian and the Texas staff have sold Stewart on having a Devonta Smith role in the offense throughout the recruiting process. Sarkisian’s relentless and detailed pursuit, in addition to Xavier Worthy exploding onto the national scene as a true freshman have the Horns right in the thick of the action as National Signing Day approaches.
Inside Texas will have more coverage today and throughout the high-profile visit weekend. Buckle up.
Evan Stewart was having a dominating season
Before opting out of his senior year, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings Charles Power said Evan Stewart performed like the best wide receiver prospect in the nation this fall, making spectacular plays on a consistent basis.
In three games this season, Stewart had 414 yards receiving and three touchdowns. He also rushed for 70 yards and a touchdown.
Power said Stewart is among the better receiver prospects he’s seen in several cycles.
“With anything like this, we want to make sure we have the full details and understand the context and reasoning,” Power said. “There are no questions about Evan Stewart on the field. He’s continued to improve over the past calendar year and continued that ascent as a senior. He’s a complete receiver with top-flight athleticism to go with route-running and the ability to win in contested situations at the catch point.
