Oregon Ducks wide receiver Evan Stewart was booked into the Springfield Municipal Jail on a charge of driving under the influence of intoxicants (DUII) early Sunday morning, October 18.

Stewart, the Ducks' leading receiver, had already missed Saturday's 17-14 comeback win over Nebraska due to an undisclosed injury. According to Springfield police, Stewart was booked at 7 a.m. PT and released approximately one hour later at 8 a.m. to a third party identified as Dakorien Moore, an Oregon sophomore receiver.

Head coach Dan Lanning addressed the arrest, stating that Stewart's actions "didn't match our standard." Lanning confirmed that the team will handle the matter internally and that Stewart will face appropriate disciplinary action, though he declined to specify the exact nature of the punishment.

Stewart is a fifth-year senior who opened the previous week as questionable on Oregon's availability report before dropping to doubtful. He is tied with Moore for the team lead with four touchdown catches. Neither KATU nor KVAL has confirmed any other arrests among Ducks players, and no further details regarding the circumstances of the charge have been released.
