Oregon Leading WR Evan Stewart Facing DUII Charge

KATU said jail staff confirmed the Oregon wide receiver was released an hour later to a third party after the DUII booking.

  • Oregon wide receiver Evan Stewart was booked into Springfield Municipal Jail at 7 a.m. Sunday on a driving under the influence of intoxicants charge, then released one hour later to teammate Dakorien Moore.
  • Unsubstantiated social media rumors claiming multiple Oregon players were arrested circulated over the weekend; the Springfield Police Department stated street racing reports were 'unfounded,' noting officers contacted players regarding a separate pursuit.
  • Through five games, Stewart leads the team with 27 catches for 352 yards and four touchdowns, though he missed Saturday's 17-14 win against the Nebraska Cornhuskers after being listed as 'doubtful' on the injury report.
  • The University of Oregon has not publicly addressed the incident as of Monday morning, while the team prepares for a road game against Illinois to maintain College Football Playoff contention.
  • Since arriving at Oregon in 2024 as a transfer from Texas A&M, Stewart has recorded 166 catches for 2,128 yards and 15 touchdowns across 36 career games.
