The Georgia Bulldogs are back in the running for four-star recruit Evan Stewart. Stewart has decommitted to the University of Texas after committing to the Longhorns last month.
Standing 6 feet, Stewart hails from Frisco, Texas. The four-star ranks as the nation’s No. 40 overall player, No. 5 receiver and No. 8 player in the state of Texas in the 2022 class. 247Sports has Stewart ranked quite close to being a five-star prospect.
Stewart’s decommitment is a big loss for Steve Sarkisian and the Texas Longhorns. Texas still has the No. 8 rated recruiting class of 2022, which is second best in the Big 12 behind Oklahoma. Sarkisian, the former Alabama Crimson Tide offensive coordinator, has recruited well to begin his tenure at Texas.
He plays football for Liberty High School, where he is a rising senior. Throughout 2019, he hauled in 43 passes for 757 yards and seven touchdowns.
Stewart holds more than 25 college football scholarship offers. The four-star wide receiver is considering attending Georgia, Texas, Oklahoma State, Oregon, Alabama, LSU, Notre Dame, TCU, Florida, Baylor, USC, Penn State or Texas A&M.
Stewart announced his decommitment from the Longhorns via his Twitter account:

Evan Stewart desires to visit college campuses and meet with coaches in person. Unfortunately, he hasn’t been able to do so thanks to the NCAA’s dead period in recruiting.
Kirby Smart and Georgia will need to land several wide receiver commitments in the class of 2022. The Dawgs have a few targets in mind including Kojo Antwi and Samuel Mbake. Georgia may have to replace George Pickens, Kearis Jackson, Demetris Robertson, and more next offseason.
