Texas A&M wide receiver Evan Stewart, who is set to enter his highly anticipated sophomore campaign with the Maroon and White, is no stranger to the spotlight; he ranked as the No.1 wide receiver prospect within the Aggies’ historic 2022 recruiting class, carrying a bevy of potential at one of the most critical positions in the game.
After earning a starting spot on offense during the 2022 season, Stewart, though a wave of in-season losing streak and stark adversity seeping through the locker room, went on to lead the team in receiving yards with 649 but only recorded two touchdowns on the year a revolving door at quarterback.
To his credit, none of the obstacles the Aggies endured last season interrupted Stewart from consistently bringing his impressive blend of speed, route running, soft hands, and, most importantly, on-field gravitas.
Heading into the pivotal 2023 season, Stewart joins a highly talented wide receiver core including Ainias Smith, Moose Muhammad II, and Spring MVP Noah Thomas, collectively one of the top starting units in the country on the brink of finally breaking out under Aggies’ new offensive coordinator, Bobby Petrino.
To bring even more context to what lies in 2023, TexAgs’ Director of Broadcast David Nuño sat down with Evan Stewart last week to get his perspective ahead of the start of fall football camp this week and in what was a riveting 16-plus minute interview, Stewart’s short quote will make every Aggie fan excited regarding just how consistent this offense can end up being:
“Right now, we are clicking on all cylinders.”
Based on the impending quarterback battle between Max Johnson and Conner Wegiman, Stewart provided glowing reviews for both players, reiterating that this competition will last through the fall. Last but not least, Nuño asked about Bobby Petrino’s influence on the offense, leading to an optimistic Stewart referencing the Madden video game franchise, noting the single-player scoring, and describing a potential increase in pre-snap motions and shifts while getting receivers in space to make plays, adding an explosive element to the offense.
As I’ve said all offseason, the sky is the limit for this offense, but coming together as a team throughout the campaign is an absolute must for success.
