Stewart visited the Ducks unofficially on June 10. He is 5'11, 173 lbs and could play cornerback or safety at Oregon. He is a three star rated recruit according to the 247Sports composite ranking but a player who was offered early in the process by John Neal, a coach who has been as good as any in the country at developing defensive backs and sending them to the NFL. On his video highlights, Stewart looks like a prototypical Neal recruit: he has a nose for the ball and plays very physical. He chose Oregon over offers from Washington, Wisconsin, Utah, and Arizona State, among others.
