OVERALL
The Texas A&M transfer as of right now, is one of my favorites in the 2025 class, as you can tell by his 8 of a Dog Score (film grade). Even with his slim frame, it is all over his film that he can win at the LOS against press coverage, using his explosiveness and high IQ to win at the release in various ways. Foot fire, swipes, hip drops it’s all there. Stewart is one of the best runners in this class in my opinion. Once in his routes, Stewart uses his quickness/footwork to get in and out of his breaks extremely cleanly, his acceleration to deceleration is very impressive. Another way he wins in his routes is his defensive manipulation. Stewart is a real salesman, whether it be head fakes or sudden hard jabs, he is separating from DB’s with ease. Do yourself a favor and watch the games against Alabama going head-to-head with 1st round draft pick Terrion Arnold. One of my favorite things about Stewart is his ability to play bigger than 175. He uses his elite athleticism to do the work for him when attacking the ball in contested catch situations making some highlight reel plays (he is going to smash the vertical at the combine). The biggest issue for Stewart is something I have mentioned here a few times, it is his size. Due to this his 2nd season was derailed by an injury and shows with some of the stats. His contested catch-win rate was only 33% in 2023 per PFF. Right now, I have Stewart in my top 3 WRs for the 2025 class and see him as a 1st round pick. I cannot wait to see how the Oregon Ducks use Stewart as a major playmaker.
