Oregon wide receiver Evan Stewart was arrested early Sunday on a charge of driving under the influence of intoxicants, according to police in Springfield, Oregon, who spoke to local ABC affiliate KATU. Stewart was booked at approximately 7 a.m. PT on Sunday and was released about an hour later to a third party, fellow Oregon receiver Dakorien Moore, according to KATU.
As of Monday morning, Oregon had not publicly acknowledged the arrest. Stewart, the Ducks' leading receiver this season, did not play in Oregon's home victory Saturday night against Nebraska. The senior had been downgraded from questionable to doubtful for the game late last week due to an undisclosed injury. Oregon coach Dan Lanning mentioned Stewart on Saturday night when listing the number of Ducks players who missed the game.
Stewart has been a central part of the Oregon offense in 2026, recording 27 receptions for 352 yards and four touchdowns, all team highs, in five games this season.
The arrest adds an off-field issue for a Ducks team that has relied heavily on its top pass catcher. Further details about the charge and any team response had not been released at the time of reporting.
