Five-star WR Evan Stewart gives hope to Texas after losing to Oklahoma State
The Longhorns had numerous big-time recruits at their game against Oklahoma State. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a good look that Texas was unable to finish the game for the second consecutive week.
The Longhorns would end up losing to the Cowboys after holding a double-digit lead at one point. There were not many positives that could be taken from the game either, as quarterback Casey Thompson had the worst game of his career, the offensive line is looking more and more hopeless every week, and the defense again got ran all over by Jaylen Warren.
However, there has been two major positives that have come out of the two losses for Texas. The first is the fact that running back Bijan Robinson is an absolute star and is only a sophomore. The second being the fact that sought-after recruits are still viewing Texas as a place to be.
The top wide receiver in the 2022 class, five-star Evan Stewart, tweeted shortly after Texas’ loss to Oklahoma and proved to the fans that not all hope is lost. Although winning is always better, Texas has lost three games already, and still has to take on Baylor and Iowa State. The truth is, Steve Sarkisian is in his first season with a roster of players that don’t all fit the mold of what he wants.
His play-calling abilities that we have seen a few times this season is still a major draw to young players. Stewart tweeted that the more a team loses, the closer they are to success. Perhaps he wants to go in and be one of the reasons the team turns it around?
In my opinion the more u lose… lowkey the closer you get🤷🏾♂️idk I jus have my reasons ig to think that

Stewart currently holds 247Sports crystal ball predictions to Texas and Florida, two schools that have underwhelmed in a major way this season and are both coming off majorly disappointing losses.
Stewart likely sees a receiver group that is not very deep, where he can come in and play right away and be a contributor. He like the rest of us has seen freshman sensation Xavier Worthy be a star, and that is something that Stewart will likely consider when making his final decision.
