Stewart reveals that he was not interested in playing football at Liberty High School in Frisco, Texas. The speedy 6-foot receiver was convinced by his high school football coach - Dallas Cowboys legendary tight end Jason Witten - to participate and Stewart helped the team turn around a program that had zero wins for two-straight seasons.

Stewart became a five-star recruit and a 2022 Under Armour All-American. A two-sport athlete in high school, Stewart excelled on the football field and on the track. Stewart won the Texas 5A long jump title as a junior with a 24'6.5" leap and anchored the gold medal-winning 4x400m and silver medal-winning 4x200m teams.

Harper II asked Stewart how he became TikTok famous (2.1 million followers) and Stewart revealed that his friend asked him to join a video - that then went viral.

"After the game, the cheerleaders from the other team are like, 'you're Evan Stewart!'" Stewart told Harper II. "We all sitting here like, what are they talking about? They said, 'You are TikTok famous!'... We get on the bus and driving back to the school. And I checked the TikTok. The TikTok had like 300,000 views. And we posted it right before the game. So it's only been posted like two hours."

Some of the people that Stewart has collaborated on TikTok with include: NFL star Jalen Ramsey, singer Addison Rae, singer Drake and singer Chris Brown.

"The thing was, I was always a dancer," Steward told Harper II. "Like even at family reunions, family functions, I was that man."

What does Stewart want Oregon fans to know about him?

"That I'm really a cool dude," Stewart told Harper. "TikTok is TikTok. Football is football... But I like to make everybody laugh. I make myself laugh. Like, I just genuinely like having a good time."

Harper II, Stewart and the Ducks hope to keep the positive momentum going this week as they face the Michigan State Spartans on Friday in Autzen Stadium at 6 p.m. PT.

"That ball, man. I'm trying to get those passes," Stewart said of his goal with the Ducks during fall football camp. "(Oregon) suited everything that I was looking for. I wanted to be in a great program that had a lot of order and construction. Everything is so much better here, honestly, I'm happy with my decision."

Oregon's offensive line and Harper II allowed zero sacks in the Ducks' 34-13 win over the UCLA Bruins. With excellent protection, Gabriel lit up UCLA for 280 yards and three touchdowns. In the rushing attack, the Ducks offense averaged 4.6 yards per carry, totaling 153 yards on the night.

Now, the 4-0 Ducks look to stay undefeated with a talented Spartans team coming to Eugene.
