Oregon Ducks wide receiver group strengthened by Evan Stewart's return
Summary

Oregon Ducks' wide receiver position appears promising heading into the 2026 season. Evan Stewart, who missed last season due to injury, is set to return, enhancing the group alongside redshirt sophomore Jeremiah McClellan and true sophomore Dakorien Moore. Oregon has lost key players but added depth through transfers and recruiting, including Iverson Hooks and Gatlin Bair. The coaching staff has focused on building a talented roster as the Ducks aim for a strong season following their College Football Playoff semifinal appearance in 2025. Team practices will further develop the receiving group against one of the best defenses in the country.
