For Evan Stewart, a national expert chooses Tennessee
This coming season, Tennessee has worked hard to assemble a talented group of players on all sides of the ball. The coaching staff still has their sights set on big fish, even with the addition of Holden Staes, a tight end from Notre Dame, and Chris Brazzell, a wide receiver from Tulane.
Evan Stewart, a wide receiver for Texas A&M, had a long list of suitors when he entered the transfer portal. After accumulating 38 receptions, 514 yards, and four touchdowns in 2023, he is presently ranked as the portal’s top uncommitted talent.
The best-ranked transfer weighs 175 pounds and is 6-0. According to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, he was the No. 11 overall player and a five-star prospect in the 2022 recruiting class.
Even though he is the standard size for a slot wideout, he still has excellent hands, outstanding speed, and physicality. Stewart was expected to travel to Tennessee on Thursday, according to J.D. PicKell from On3. With the former five-star prospect, Tennessee appears to be in a good situation, as they plan to host him for a visit in January.
The universities of Oregon, Florida State, USC, Ole Miss, Tennessee, and Florida State have all been mentioned. Many thought that Texas and Alabama were good choices, but Pete Nakos of On3 also disregarded it.
Bru McCoy’s injury against South Carolina and Dont’e Thornton’s late-season injury plagued the Vols throughout the season, even though they didn’t have the best wide receiver class.With Ramesh Keyton’s departure, Chas Nimrod assumed a major position for the Volunteers and is anticipated to contribute significantly going forward.
