Oregon Ducks star wide receiver Evan Stewart was reportedly arrested in Eugene on Sunday morning.
The Ducks topped Nebraska in comeback fashion on Saturday night. Oregon defeated Nebraska, 17-14, at Autzen Stadium in Eugene. The Ducks improved to 4-2 on the year with the victory, while Nebraska dropped to 5-2.
Stewart did not play in the game. He was listed as “doubtful” on the injury report before kickoff. He had previously caught 27 passes for 352 yards and four touchdowns through five games this season. In a loss against UCLA last week, he caught five passes for 74 yards and the score. He had scored a touchdown in four straight games.
According to a report from KATU2 in Oregon, he was arrested on Sunday morning.
Details emerge from Evan Stewart’s arrest
Stewart was reportedly booked into jail around 7 a.m. Sunday, October 18, on a charge of driving under the influence of intoxicants (DUII).
“According to the information provided, Stewart was released approximately one hour later, at 8 a.m., to a third party whose name matches that of another Oregon Ducks wide receiver,” KATU reported.
“KATU reached out to the University of Oregon football program seeking confirmation and a statement regarding the reported booking but had not received a response at the time of publication.”
KATU’s report comes after multiple social media posts indicated that one or more Oregon Ducks football players had been arrested over the weekend. The university has yet to officially comment.
