Oregon Ducks’ Evan Stewart Surging As Deep Ball Threat For Quarterback Dillon Gabriel
The Oregon Ducks are starting to see transfer wide receiver Evan Stewart gel with quarterback Dillon Gabriel.
Stewart had his first breakout game of the 2024 season in the Ducks’ upset win over the Ohio State Buckeyes in Eugene last Saturday. The transfer from Texas A&M picked up right where he left off in Friday night’s matchup against the Purdue Boilermakers.
Oregon cruised to a 35-0 victory vs. Purdue with much thanks to its electric offense and stout defense.
Evan Stewart Making Strides
Oregon Ducks wide receiver Evan Stewart has started to turn into a star for the high-powered Duck offense. Stewart had a breakout performance against the Ohio State Buckeyes. Stewart hauled in a season-high seven catches for a career-high149 yards and a touchdown. Stewart provided major highlights, including a career-long 69-yard reception, his second 50-plus yard reception of the season and the sixth for the Ducks.
Long story short, Stewart is emerging as an ever-present deep threat.
Building off this performance against Ohio State, Stewart made his presence felt early against the Purdue Boilermakers. On the Ducks’ opening drive, Stewart caught a beautiful 49-yard pass from Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel down the right sideline to set up a Jordan James touchdown.
Stewart went into the half as the Ducks leading receiver with three catches and 79 receiving yards. He finished with 96 yards and four receptions.
Stewart, second on the team in receptions to Tez Johnson, has made an immediate impact at Oregon. He is tied for the Big Ten lead with two 60-plus-yard receptions.
Ducks’ Elite Wide Receiver Room
The Oregon Ducks have an elite wide-receiving core. Quarterback Dillon Gabriel has an abundance of weapons with receivers Tez Johnson, Evan Stewart, and Traeshon Holden. Add in tight end Terrance Ferguson and running backs Jordan James and Noah Whittington, and you have arguable the best set of playmakers in college football.
Stewart finding his way makes this offense nearly unstoppable. They put up 32 points against the vaunted Ohio State defense. The Buckeyes were allowing only six points per game until they rolled into Eugene.
The Ducks hung 32 on them and now they look to continue that success for the remainder of the season.
Oregon coach Dan Lanning praised Stewart’s patience, after the win over the Buckeyes.
“Sometimes you don’t know when your number’s gonna be called,” Oregon coach Dan Lanning said after the victory. “Not every play is designed to go to just one person. But I think Evan did a great job of taking advantage of the opportunities when the ball did get put in his direction, and he had opportunities to go make plays on the ball. There’s been some other moments this year where he probably could have had those opportunities, and maybe the ball just didn’t go his way. So he took advantage of those opportunities, and I certainly expect him to do that in the future.”

Oregon’s Class Surges in Team Recruiting Rankings to No. 3
If you headed to the lake early last week, you missed the best fireworks. Dan Lanning and his staff put on a cup of coffee and closed like the Wolf of Wall Street. Minus the cocaine, probably.
All jokes aside, and believe me, these are jokes, the recruiting this staff is doing is not a joke. From June 28 to July 3, a span of 6 days Oregon added four new commitments and all were four stars or better. If you weren’t paying attention, Oregon landed 12 commits in the months of June and what we’ve had in July so far.
The recruiting class has surged from the teens to No. 9 to start last week to No. 3 overall by Friday afternoon. Only Texas A&M and Notre Dame have better recruiting classes according to Rivals. Oregon has the best class in the Big Ten conference.
The 24 commits sit at an average rating of 90.76 according to Rivals. Additionally 16 of the 24 commits are ranked four-stars or better and that includes the Ducks having a pair of 5-Star commitments. Oregon has 11 defensive commits, 11 offensive commits and 2 listed as athletes.
Up next is a commitment from four-star linebacker Brayton Feister set for Saturday, July 11. I don’t believe that addition will move Oregon up in the rankings but will strengthen their current position.
With five-star wide receiver Xavier Sabb committing, Oregon now has a commitment from 17 different states. Should Feister from Ohio pick the Ducks on Saturday, that would give Oregon an 18th state. The national reach of this program is as good as any school in the country.
Last year Oregon finished with the No. 4 ranked class in the nation. The 2025 class also finished at No. 4 nationally.
The early signing period for the 2027 class begins on December 4 and ends on December 6. The transfer portal window begins on January 2.
Oregon kicks off its 2026 season opener at home on September 5 vs Boise State.

Former corrections officer sentenced in major Oregon poaching case spanning multiple counties
UMATILLA COUNTY, Ore. (KTVZ) — A yearslong investigation by the Oregon State Police (OSP), in addition to the Fish and Wildlife Division, has resulted in significant penalties for an Umatilla man accused of illegally killing wildlife across Oregon, in what prosecutors describe as one of the most damaging serial poaching cases tied to a single individual.
Christopher George Matson, 48, was sentenced in two separate cases in June following an investigation that began in 2024, when authorities received information he was unlawfully taking big game animals. Matson is a former Oregon Department of Corrections officer.
In February 2025, investigators served a search warrant and seized multiple big game animals and firearms as evidence. In total, 67 criminal charges were referred for prosecution, spanning multiple counties and including allegations such as unlawful take and possession of black bear with the aid of bait, unlawful take of buck deer and antlerless elk, and hunting during prohibited hours. Additional charges included falsely applying for tags, loaning or borrowing big game tags, and unlawful possession of silencers and a short-barreled rifle.
The case was prosecuted by the Oregon Department of Justice’s Wildlife Anti-Poaching Resource Prosecutor.
On June 18, 2026, Matson pleaded guilty in Grant County Circuit Court to seven counts, including unlawful take of buck deer and black bear. He was sentenced to 18 months of probation, a lifetime hunting license revocation, 300 hours of community service, forfeiture of firearms and seized property, and a $52,500 fine payable to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Less than two weeks later, on June 29, Matson pleaded guilty in Umatilla County Circuit Court to additional charges, including unlawful possession of a short-barreled rifle, unlawful possession of a silencer, unlawful possession of multiple wildlife, and unlawful take of mule deer. In that case, he was sentenced to 24 months of probation, a lifetime hunting ban, 300 hours of community service to run concurrently, forfeiture of property, and a $62,000 fine.
Combined, the penalties include probation, a lifetime revocation of hunting privileges, 300 hours of community service and more than $114,000 in fines.
“This is another example of serial poaching which rises to the level of felony conduct based solely on the repeated poaching conduct and impact of one individual on Oregon’s game mammals,” said Jay Hall, the Oregon Department of Justice’s Wildlife Anti-Poaching Resource Prosecutor. “The conduct across the several counties amounts to one of the highest damage amounts done to Oregon wildlife by any singular actor.”
Oregon State Police credited the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife for assisting with interviews and evidence collection, along with multiple witnesses who came forward during the investigation.
