The Oregon Ducks received some unfortunate injury news earlier this week that no fan wants to hear in the middle of the offseason. After an apparent injury in offseason training, star wide receiver Evan Stewart suffered a significant knee injury that is expected to keep him out of most, if not all, of the 2025 college football season.

Wide receiver Evan Stewart bypassed the 2025 draft to return to Oregon for his senior season. Now, he might miss the season. According to multiple reports, Stewart tore a patellar tendon this week. It is unknown how the knee injury occurred.

The former five-star prospect transferred from Texas A&M to Oregon last offseason. Stewart caught 48 passes for 613 yards and a career-high five touchdown receptions during the 2024 campaign. Stewart didn't play in Oregon's 41-21 loss in the Rose Bowl to Ohio State due to a lower back injury.
