Just before Thursday evening turned into Friday morning, Frisco Liberty wide receiver Evan Stewart unexpectedly announced his commitment to the Texas Longhorns weeks after stepping back from making an early decision.
Stewart’s pledge gives the Longhorns another highly-rated offensive weapon to pair with Gardena (Calif.) Junipero Serra quarterback Maalik Murphy, who committed last Saturday, Klein Cain running back Jaydon Blue, and Lewisville wide receiver Armani Winfield.
Ranked as a top-40 prospect, Stewart is the No. 5 wide receiver nationally, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. He’s also a track standout with personal bests of a 10.
