Stewart, the No. 1 transfer portal wide receiver, chose to join the Ducks and catch passes from <a href="https://www.si.com/college/oregon/football/oregon-ducks-dillon-gabriel-heisman-trophy-odds-dropping-alabama-jalen-milroe-surging-vegas-betting-" rel="nofollow"> quarterback Dillon Gabriel </a> . Did you know Stewart was once testing for the professional soccer team, FC Dallas Academy, in Dallas? Stewart's path to football is a very unconventional one. <a href="https://www.si.com/college/oregon/football/oregon-ducks-jump-updated-ap-poll-top-six-ucla-win-rankings-dan-lanning-alabama-georgia-ohio-state-texas" rel="nofollow"> Oregon Ducks </a> offensive lineman Marcus Harper II hosts 'The Big Mark Show' in the video above.

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. <a href="https://www.si.com/college/oregon/football/oregon-ducks-wr-evan-stewart-ready-to-chase-national-championship-dan-lanning-dillon-gabriel-tez-johnson" rel="nofollow"> Stewart </a> 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. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=332doI_0vp8mftF00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=332doI_0vp8mftF00" width="912" height="513" ><figcaption>Oregon Ducks receiver Evan Stewart's Unconventional Path To Football, TikTok Fame: The Big Mark Show | seigher brown </figcaption></figure> "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." <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> 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." <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1x8Cgs_0vp8mftF00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1x8Cgs_0vp8mftF00" width="912" height="513" ><figcaption>Oregon Ducks receiver Evan Stewart's Unconventional Path To Football, TikTok Fame: The Big Mark Show | Seigher Brown </figcaption></figure><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> Harper II, Stewart and the Ducks hope to keep the positive momentum going this week as they face the <a href="https://www.si.com/college/oregon/football/oregon-ducks-open-huge-favorites-michigan-state-spartans-preview-dillon-gabriel-autzen-stadium-big-ten" rel="nofollow"> Michigan State Spartans </a> on Friday in Autzen Stadium at 6 p.m. PT.
